No Moment Be Lost

"The readiness is all"— Hamlet

As Washington College welcomes its 105th class, it stands
belter equipped than ever to fulfill its commitment to liberal
arts education. However, the realization of a liberal education
is dependcnl more on the student than the school.

As we head into academic year 185, it would perhaps be
fitting for all students to reaffirm their college goals and their
individual commitments to education, keeping in mind some
thoughts staled recently by poet Judson Jerome:

"I am preparing to be a human being, I am seeking wisdom,
goodness, happiness. 1 want lo develop a habit of free but careful,
disciplined inquiry. I would like to have the courage to be
myself, to dissent, to think independently. I am developing a
compassion for others, an understanding of people and ways
of life radically different from my own. 1 am learning the
grounds and the means and developing the character for intelli-
gent, significant social action ... I am learning to appreciate
the worth and frailty and brevity of life, to be jealous of my
time, to be desperate that no moment or experience be lost

Punitive Draft Laws?

gan students who lost their deferments for participating in a
protest sit-in against the Vietnam war.

for the reclassifications, we must wonder whether draft laws

Can and will the threat of reclassification be used to control

and, as is true of Mr. Lewis's
slightly repetitious but absorbing
article on the diplomacy of Fried-
rich von Holstein, its picture of
political futility juxtaposes inter-
estingly with the alienation and
disenchantment discussed in the
literary articles.

Rickcrl's Judgement Fresh

Of these I thought Mr. Rick-
crt's and Mr. Lamond's especially
valuable, partly because their de-
tailed analysis of narrower subjects
led them to fresher judgements
than I could find in the articles by
Mrs. Rickert and Mr. Rabat. Also,

ment that "the modern novel, from
Dostroevsky's Notes from the Un-
derground to the works of Hardy.
Joyce, Proust, Mann. Rilke Kaf-

Is the mood and theme of A In
Recherche du Temps Perdu all
dark and deraeine, or for that mat-
ter, all anything? And what about
The Wings oj the Dove and The
Ambassadors, whose author cer-
tainly has as much right as Thomas
Hardy to appear on Mr. Rabat's
list. And although I find Mr. Ra-

discriminating, I can't sec that he
makes a valid rase (if indeed one
can be made) for censoring any-

Defense Untested

Coach Athey considers his un-
tested defense critical to this year's
campaign. The offensive line seems
to be scoring and moving the ball
well, but Mr. Athey cautions that
his line has not yet been tested
against a strong defense.

If the defense gels and the line
proves to be as capable as they
look, Coach Athcy feels that the
Sho'men have another good chance
for a successful season.

Saturday's game with Hofstra
should provide the necessary tests
for the Sho' offense and defense.
LTsually a moderately strong team,
the Flying Dutchmen occasionally
field an exceptional team. Hofstra
usually gives the Sho'men a tough
game, the scores seldom exceeding
a one goal margin by cither team.

HEAD AND SHOULDERS ABOVE ALL: Dick Louck, expected
start this year at center half, heads the ball in a recent soccer practice.

Scheduling problems, misundcr-

Gcorge P. Mahoney in Maryland's
Democratic primary and an assas-
sin's threat all combined to sabo-
tage a "great debate" to be held
at the College September 22.

The ill-fated debate, initiated by
the College Young Democrats
Club, was to be the first major
confrontation of the Maryland
gubernatorial primary winners.
Mahoney Not Invited

Preparations for the debate
started in May, when Democratic
Club President Brian Kchoe, '69,
invited the principal gubernatorial
primary candidates to the campus.
They were: Republican Spiro T.
Agnew, Baltimore County Exccu-

Carlton Sickles; Attorney-Genera

Agnew Accepts

Agnew and Pressman accepted

immediately, according to Kchoe,

and a September 22 date was

agreed upon. Sickles and Finan,

honey, the complexion of the de-
bate changed. With little time left
before September 22, a telegram
was sent by Kchoe to Mahoney,
asking the candidate to debate
Agnew, who was still expected in
Chcstertown by the Young Demo-
Life Threatened

No negative or affirmative ans-
wer was received from Mahoney.
An unknown person threatened his
life, and police did not permit the
candidate to see callers or to leave
his "caslle" home.

Just days before the scheduled
date, however, the Young Demo-
crats still expected Agnew to ap-
pear. It was then that a routine
check with Agnew's office disclosed
a mistake in Agnew's calendar of
appearances. According to his cal-
endar, the Chestcrtown debate had
been cancelled, and lie was to ap-
pear in Prince Georges County

Homecoming Events
Outlined By Senate

The

Washington College's first semester
will begin October 21 and continue
throughout the weekend with a
schedule of activities prepared by
the Student Senate's Social Com-
mittee for Homecoming, 1966.

According to Joe Coale, chair-
man of the committee, the festivi-
ties will commence on Friday night
with a special "Chesapeake Bay' 1
dinner served in Hodson Hall.
Steve Myking, director of the Fri-
day activities, announced that the
Homecoming Queen and her Court
will be presented following a bon-
fire and rally to be held near Rus-
sell Gymnasium at 8:30.
Bagpipcd Band

The festivities will continue Sat-
urday with a Homecoming Parade
before the soccer game against Ly-
c riming and the cross country meet
with Catholic University. The tra-
ditional floats will be present with
the added attraction of four bands,
including one complete with bag-
pipes and kilts.

Saturday evening a buffet din-
ner in Hodson Hall is planned for
students, followed by a dinner and
dance for visiting alumni and

A Semi- Formal Affair
Highlighting the weekend's ac-
tivities will be the annual Home-
coming Dance scheduled for Sat-
urday night at the Chestertown
Armory. Chairman Coale announc-
ed last week that

Mary Wells, Benny King, and the
Echoes. The Armory decorations
will be arranged by a committee of
freshmen.

According to Jim Chalfont,
SGA elections chairman, all men
students will have the opportunity
to nominate girls for the Home-
coming Court. They will receive
nomination blanks in their mail-
boxes and will vote on the final
slate October 17. The chosen
Queen, a senior, will reign over
all events of the weekend.

by Dick Hcymann

The Washington College Men's
Residence Association will hold
three elections within the next two
weeks.

The first, to be held Fridav, Oc-
tober 21, will decide who is to
serve on the MRA Council, the
governing body of the organization.
Executive Committee

On Wednesday, October 26,
choosing among the members of
the Council, the students will se-
lect an Executive Committee, con-
sisting of the President, the Vice-
President, Secretary and Treasurer
of the MRA. The final election will
be held on Monday October 31,
to fill the four vacancies left on
the Council as a result of the cre-
ation of the Executive Committee.

The MRA will enforce regula-
tions concerning dormitory life
through its Judiciary Committee.

Those living on campus would have
increased responsibility for main-
taining the dormitory fiirnishitisji,
and in general, of governing them-

250 Tickets On Sale
Coale said "the SGA hopes to
sell 250 tickets to the student body,
but if any remain they will be
placed on general sale to alumni
and friends of the College."

Coale also announced that chap-
crones for the excursion will in-
clude Dean and Mrs. Carl West-
erdahl, Mr. and Mrs. John Lin-
ville, and Mr. and Mrs. Robert
Pritzlaff. In addition five uniform-
ed guards will be on board.
'Greater SGA Role'
When asked why the SGA was
sponsoring two major social activi-
ties this semester, Coale replied,
"there is a definite lack of student
social functions on campus this
year, partly due to rescheduling
and relocation of fraternal activi-
ties. It is my hope that the SGA
will take more initiative and re-
sponsibility in providing a variety

only Negroes were given the op-
portunity for special attention.

The civic leaders told of genera]
local support for the College's tu-
torial program, commending the
students for their role in helping
solve what would otherwise be
unremedied study difficulties in the
high schools.

More Tutees Than Tutors
Because there are more appli-
cants for the tutoring assistance
than there arc tutors, the individ-
ual student's need will have to be
reviewed and considered in terms
of need by Dr. Hoffman and some
of the student's teachers.

Tutoring will be on a one-to-one
basis, a factor which greatly limits
the possible scope of the program.
Dr. Hoffman pointed out that there
are opportunities for College stu-
dents to accept more than one
high schooler, if the former's time
permits.

dents were expecting the help of

Activities Fee Accountability

Each academic year .$19.50 of each student's $66.00 Activi-
ties Fee is given directly to the Student Government Association.
This sum is then distributed by the S.G.A. to various student
organizations.

Due to sometimes inaccurate nnd haphazard accounting
methods, exactly what happened to these appropriations, somc-
linics as high as $750, after student organizations receive them,
has been somewhat of a mystery ill past years.

Such will not lie the case this year. Due to the efforts of
President Daniel Gibson, Bursar Robert Simmonds, S.G.A.
President Cliff llankcy and S.G.A. Treasurer Marie Warner,
there should no longer lie a question of Student Activities Fee

accountability.

Suggested changes in student organizations' budgeting pro-
cedures include the following:

Corps In Trouble

The National Teacher Corps is in trouble.

At a time of severe teacher shortage and of desperate need
to recruit new teachers for rural and urban slum schools, this
program has captured the imagination of many college grad-
uates, including several from Washington College.

However, last week the Senate voted only $7.5 million
to finance the corps. This amount will pay existing teaching
corps commitments— mainlj the salaries of the 1,250 trainees
now attached to schools— but it will not carry the Teaching

Congress must be persuaded to pass a supplemental appro-

Corps. Congress must demonstrate its faith in the cause of edu-
cation before it expects eager college graduates to join a pro-

Football Madness Rampant
On September Afternoon

By Jaia Barrett

Football fanatics at Washington
College got a chance to see quite
a game last Friday in front of
Bunting Library. Rough and tough
Alpha Omicron Pi Sorority played
against challenging Lambda Chi
Alpha Fraternity.

Captain of the feminine line-up
was Malificent Maryanov other-
wise known as the Pink Terror in
Pigtails. She headed the following
impressive list of players: Stupen-
dous Strausser, Killer Kieffer,
Deadly Davidson, Galloping Gall-
oway, Lynn the Lion Hearted, Vic-
ious Van Nostrand, Vengeful Vos-
kian, Martin the Mashei^ Dyna-
mite Dorsey, Terrible Thomas,
Sensational Sansbury, Herculean
Hill, Spit-fire Straycr, Bruteful
Buckingham, Battering Ballard,
and Crafty Killen.

Super Coach

Coaching the AOII team was
the brawny, brave, bold, brilliant,
bewitching and beguiling Brian
Griffin. His inspiring advice to the
girls before the game was to "make
like animals!"

The lucious Lambdas who dared
to challenge this remarkable team
were Meringue Mulvaney, Spun
Webb, Spittin Kelly, Whithering
Whitson, Huckleberry Henehan,
Mini-McGinnis, Creampuff Cam-
bardella, Routed Roberts, Hacked
Bohaker, Mashed Marshall, Cream-
ed Campbell, Kitten McKinney,
Ructious Ray and Marinaded
Manning.

Leap Frog Run

The Lambdas tried out some of
their new plays against AOII such
as the chicken fight block, the leap
frog run, and the illegal, but quite
effective, abduction play.

It was the AOII team, however,
who showed real skill and finesse
on the field. Outstanding in her
performance was Galloping Gallo-

touchdowns for AOII. Also to be
complimented on their playing
were Killer Kieffer, Deadly David-
son, Dynamite Dorsey, Spit-Fire
Straycr and Vengeful Voskian.
During halftime three lovely
cheerleaders entertained the crowd
which had gathered under the
Elm to watch the game. Leading
exciting yells were Mod Moulton,
Strobic Simpson and Mazy Mon-

Players Planning Ahead

The Arts Center is a facility
which has been long and anxiously
awaited by the Washington Col-

College dramatics organization, \\-ill
make the Center their new home.
The scheduling of plays in the
new building has already begun,

games were played this past week
in a rain-abrcviatcd schedule as
both the Theta Chi Fraternity and
the Outcasts registered victories.

Carl Ortman led the Theta Chi's
to a 40-0 victory over the 1000
Clowns as he ran for two touch-
downs and passed for three more
scores. Ortman's touchdown runs
were for ten yards and five yards
respectively. Ends, Steve Clogett
and George Buchless, got into iht

from Ortman in the firs
half and Clogett also caught

position's endzone for a six point
score. Ferris, incidentally, will r«
lost to the Thcta's for the remaind-
er of the season due to a recur-
renc spinal injury.

In a low scoring game, the Out-
casts defeated the Kappa Alpha's
by a 12-6 score. Nick Samaras,
the Outcast quarterback, dominat-
ed the game with his fine running
as he scored on thirty and sixty
yard runs. The KA's only score
came on a long pass from Bob
Vanderclock to Al Strielman which
was good for sixty yards.

Soccer Spotlights

By Dick Louck

Washington College opened its
1966 soccer season Tuesday against
the University of Delaware. The
score was Conditioning 2, Wash-
ington College 1. Delaware had
something to do with the victory,
but not as much as the lack of
stamina among the Sho" squad.

Unless one can find a represen-
tative of Mother Nature to blame,
then the situation remains; because
continuous rain, mud and generally
nasty ground conditions kept the
Washington team from having its
first game according to schedule,
and postponed a planned scrim-
mage with the team from either
Dover air base or the Chestertown
club.

Also full field scrimmages were
rare and sometimes impossible on
the rain-soaked field. The Wash-
in the gym, a very unsuitable
place.

Stamina Lack

Early in the game, when the
Sho'men were fresh, the potential
the club possesses was evident as
they kept the ball in Delaware
territory for most of the early
quarters. Then the lack of stamina,
mostly due to the players not being
able to pace themselves and not
being used to game conditions,
started to tell.

Attacks on the Delaware goal
came less and less frequently as

the game wore on. Finally, Ed
Winant pushed the ball past the
Blue Hen goalie to chalk up the
first score.

The Sho'men by this time had
just about given their all in at-
tempting to get coordinated and
were pushing themselves more than
the usual 100 percent asked. But
there was nothing left to push
with, and Delaware, with two
scrimmages under its belt, kept
getting too close to the Sho' goal
and finally was able to slip one in

To be beaten by a much better
team which simply outclasses their
opponents is not as disappointing
as losing to a team you feel you
should have beaten if only you
had . . . But a game that goes
into overtime is no disgrace, it is

New Diagnostic Clue Seen
As 4 Back-To-School Slump'

As millions of students return to
classes, school and college phy-
sician and nurses soon will be faced
with long lines of young men and
women complaining of feeling tired
and listless and having other diffi-
cult-to-pin-down symptoms.

Some students will simply be suf-
fering from laziness. But many
others will have a legitimate reason
for 'back-to-school slump' — infec-

back-to-school disease which in the
past has been more difficult to
diagnose than to treat.

"Kissing Disease"

A theory that "mono" is trans-
mitted by close personal contact
has led college students to roman-
tically call it the "kissing disease."
Yet, when it strikes, infectious
mononucleosis can be one of the
most miserable experiences in a
student's life. Recovery can be
slow and every day lost from school
can endanger marks and play
havoc with education plans.

Now, experts have found that it

be ;

null.

■ Of .

the Tulane University School of
Social Work in New Orleans re-
vealed that high school and college
students who were being treated
for mono were momentarily de-
pressed at the time they became
ill. Thus, mono becomes a trigger
for drop-outs, an excuse f<:r failing

to repeat a year, a last straw tor
requesting medical excuses for

In addition, mono is also a
serious problem because of its abil-
ity to mimic other ailments in-
cluding appendicitis and hepatitis.
One authority, in fact, reports that
no fewer than 29 separate maladies
can be taken for mono if diagnostic
procedures are imprecise. These
ailments may call for exploratory
surgery to verify or potent drugs

for

while the usual I
thre

bed rest, aspirin and gargles.

Therefore, because of the possi-
bility of a mono patient being sub-
jected to the risk of being diag-
nosed and treated incorrectly,
physicians have been searching for
a quick and accurate test to con-
firm or rule out the disease. The
Tulane study further indicates the
need for early detection of the
disease, since postponement of
needed bed rest adds to the stress
and makes for emotional as well as
physical compli

Minute lest

er, it will be
school health
officials to tell whether a listless
student is discouraged about Ins
exams, malingering, seriously ill, or
another victim of mono. Pharma-
ceutical research has come up with

the "Mono-Test" — a simple, inex-
pensive diagnostic test which
quickly, and happily for the pa-
reveals the presence of mono

, physicians can now im-
mediately order bed rest and spare
the patient further diagnostic pro-
cedures and delay in treatment.

With the new "Mono-Test",
diagnostic blood-testing for mono
becomes readily accessible. "Mono-
Test" is distributed by Wampole
Laboratories of Stamford, Connec-
ticut, to individual medical groups
and school and campus health cen-
ters as well as to hospitals and
laboratories.

Blood Sample Used

"Mono-Test" is so simple that
any medical technician can report
immediate results in two minutes.
It can be performed by a doctor
in his office using only a glass slide,
a blood sample from the patient
and the control samples provided

In addition, this new diagnostic
test is inexpensive. To screen an
entire school or university class
costs only about one dollar per
student. Before the introduction of
this quick screening method, it
would have been almost unheard

dents because conventional diag-
nostic techniques were too expen-

Application Deadlines
Approach for Seniors

Seniors should apply as early
as possible to graduate schools and
take any exams prerequisite to ac-
ceptance as soon as possible, said
Ermon N. Foster, Registrar of
Washington College.

The Graduate Record Examina-
tions administered by Washington
College will probably be given

March 30, 1967.

Mr. Fost-
er estimated that the dates for
the Comprehensive examinations

will be May 11 and 12.

New Chorus
Rehearsals

Under the direction of Mr. John
Walker, newly-appointed Director
of Music, the Washington College
Chorus has resumed rehearsals
with the piano accompaniment of
Mrs. Daniel Z. Gibson.

The Chorus is composed of ap-
proximately twenty men and
twenty women who practice each
Thursday evening from 7:00 to
8:30 in the Student Activities
Center. Sectional rehearsals arc
scheduled during open assembly
periods Tuesday and Thursday.

At the present time the Chorus

is preparing a number of standard
selections for a Christmas Concert.
A second concert will be presented
m the spring, but Mr. Walker
duubts that the group will go on

usually made a year in advance.

If enough interest is shown,
smaller choral ensembles and a
men's or women's glee club might
be formed, according to Mr. Walk-
'-r. There also exists the possibly

eration of the marks before mak-
ing final acceptance decisions.

Law School Tests

The law school examinations
will be given November 12 and

Job Well Done

In past years, the Student Government Association has not
been notoriously noted for its creativity in sponsoring campus

However, last Saturday night's "completely unique experi-
ence" aboard the Port Welcome was a "welcome" deviation
from this pattern. The Elm congratulates Joe Coale, Chairman
of the SGA Social Committee and organizer of the cruise, for
a job well done.

The Elm also encourages the SGA to discuss more such
creative ventures. One possibility is a jazz concert in place of
the traditional folk-singing affair. Another is SGA sponsorship
of more bus trips, particularly to Washington and Philadelphia.

(The following article appeared
in the October 3, 1966 issue of the
Salisbury Times in different form.)

A Washington College graduate
has returned this month to the
remote interior of Ethiopia, 10,000
miles away, half-way around the
world, for a second term of enlist-
ment in the Peace Corps.
Economics Major

Grieg LcBcl, '64, an Economics
major, enlisted in the Peace Corps
in October, 1964. After a period
of training in Los Angeles where
he studied the Amharic native
language, he was assigned as a
teacher to Emdcber, Ethiopia, a
remote village of 2,000 without
telephones or running water or
adequate highway communications
with the outside world.
Teaches History

He lives alone in a one-room
grass house, works most days and
nights, has a horse and some good
native friends, and loves it.

Grieg teaches history to ninth
and tenth grade pupils. Instruction
is in English, the official language
for teaching in all secondary gov-
ernment schools in Ethiopia. He
has written his own textbook for
classroom work and has a few
books furnished by the ministry ol

New Library
His and the school's special
pride is a new library just com-
pleted with funds furnished by the
United States Agency for Inter-
national Development — the mag-
nificent sum of $465.00. The build-
ing has 2,000 books, almost all in
English. Only four books are Am-
haric, the spoken language of the

Sauer-bait House
Grieg's village is 7,000 feet in
the hills, and he sleeps under four
blankets in a huge regal bc<l elab-
orately carved and decorated in
native fashion. His one-room grass
house is called a sauer-bait and
is heated by a large central fire-
place much in the modem fashion.
Smoke goes up through the grass
roof — eventually. He has a small
gasoline stove for cooking, which
he does himself. Some students

Search For Dean

There seems to be little marked progress in the search for
a new Academic Dean lor Washington College, according to
Acting Dean Newlin. (See interview, page 3).

It is difficult to imagine why Washington College should
have any trouble finding a suitable Dean. But, it will take time.

Washington offers an unusual opportunity for someone with
imagination, someone who has a fundamental objection to "the
way things are going" in American education. The school is
small, independent, academically flexible, well staffed, dedicated
to the liberal arts and ideally suited to experimentation with new
forms of higher education.

Perhaps lurking in the shadows somewhere is a man with
the radical independence of a Hutchins or the leonine philoso-
phical imagination of a Dewey or a Paul Goodman.

More and more, the existence of the small liberal arts col-
lege is threatened by the multiversities which "sell" everything,
and whose list of courses resemble a Sears catalogue. This makes
it more imperative that Washington find someone with unique
ideas about undergraduate education. We need someone who has
a raison d'etre for the existence of a four-year liberal arts college.

The Elm encourages those who arc responsible for the
selection of the Dean to keep these thoughts in mind. It is too
easy to settle for an "undistinguishable person," and, in the long
run, we cannot afford to do that.

Befriended by Priest
Grieg said that when he first
arrived in the village with five
other members of the Peace Corps,
he was befriended by a native
French-speaking Catholic priest,
Father Francois Marcos, who holds
a position of influence in the ed-
ucational and religious life of the

The priest fed him, took him to
his house, and helped Grieg find a
house of his own. His position and
influence with the native popula-
tion has helped Grieg establish
himself there in the school. The
village is a composite of pagans,
Moslems, and Christians of both
the Catholic and Coptic faith

Most of them, Grieg feels,
only lip-service to religion.

Freshmen at Washington are at
an in-between stage — they are in
a position to assess the past and

of what is ahead.

The Senior Women's Honor So-
ciety has found an opporunity to
be of service to and perhaps learn
something from the class of 1970.
They accomplished both in a ser-

"How Freshmen Feel"
As President Judy Reynolds ex-
plained, "We had offered to help
during freshman week but we were
told we weren't needed. We
thought that perhaps by setting up
discussion groups now, we could
answer any remaining questions
anil also find nut how the freshtin'ii

felt about their campus life."

The discussions were held in-
formally in Queen Anne's and
Reid Hall lounges, with only in-
terested freshmen and honor so-
ciety members present.

Girls More Open
"The reason for this," Judy stat-
ed, "was that we felt that the girls
would be more open with both

Freshman week was one of the
first topics brought up for discus-
sion. Although freshman week was
shorter this year than in previous
years, most of the girls felt that
it was too long and there was not
enough to do. "We just didn't

There does seem to be a strongly bohernian element this
year — it should last until the cliques regroup, and everyone
finds out what he or she is supposed to be. The New England
Preps have sent a heavy contribution, too — we overheard one
regimental-barred and well-tweeded character opening a con-
versation, "I'm from Fairfield County, Brooks Brothers, and St.
George's. Say, are you in a fraternity?" Funny, he was talking
to Dean Westerdahl.

that there'll be no expulsions for heresy this year. And new

Modulating Structure, 3-D, and
Hydrogen Venus are three titles
from Dr. Roland Gibson's large
collection of Italian contemporary
prints, sculpture, and paintings ac-
quired last April in Italy.

The collection includes a
thorough representation of the
Italian modernists. Dr. Gibson,
Professor of Economics, met the
artists through a Japanese artist,
Mubuya Abe, living in Rome, who
guided him from one studio to an-
other throughout Italy.

Gibson To Be Present

This collection will be shown
widely on the east coast at the
Baltimore Museum of Art, October
25-27 and later at the Virginia
Museum of Fine Arts in Rich-
mond, The East on Maryland

The collection will also be shown
during the opening of the Wash-

Commenting on his collection,
Dr. Gibson said that a painting
does not have to be pretty to be
beautiful. Some people who think
the work of the modernists as
"child's play" should try it them-
selves. He agreed that much of the
abstract art attempts to evoke
emotion, and that it is often the
color imagination in the pictures
that is interesting.

Some of the paintings can be
called "products of our times" be-
cause they seem to convey dehu-
manization. Others, says Dr. Gib-
son, can be called "systemic," in
which the artist plans what he
wants through logical geometric
thinking.

Dr. Nicholas Newlin, Act-
ing Dean of Washington Col-

Bob Peckham and Stan Jaeskle
will lead Randolph-Macon in the
make-up meet to be held at Tow-

Dennis Patton and the Beneewiezo

not have the depth it has had in
the past, it will be one of the best
contenders for winning the Mason-
Dixon Championship which will
he held in November.

The biangular meet in which the
Sho'men will meet both Towson
and Macon will be counted as two
dual meets. Chatty says that his
boys should split, beating the Yel-
low-Jackets and losing to Towson.

Home Debut Today

Soccer

The Washington College soccer
team will make it's home debut
today in a contest with Randolph-
Macon.

Coming off their season opener
loss to Delaware, the Sho'men will
be looking for their first victory
of the year. Last year Randolph-
Macon defeated what was consid-
ered to be a strong Sho'man soccer
squad and so Coach Athey's men
arc not apt to take this year's
Macon team lightly.

Constructive Greek Thought

THE WASHINGTON ELM

Sororities; Campus Role
Discussed By Conference

> discuss the role
and responsibility of Greek socie-

This was the title of the opening
speech given by Mrs. G. B. Week,
National President of Zeta Tau Al-
pha from Berkeley, California, and
Mrs. Ralph Sapp, National Mem-
bership Director of Zeta Tau Al-
pha from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
"Realize Your Potential"

They urged all Greeks to "real-
ize your greatest potential and
achieve your absolute best in all
phases of collegiate life. It is the
Greek society which is capable of
helping you achieve this goal."

The conference moved to a more
specific topic with a speech entitled
"What The Greek Societies Can
Do For Washington College Social
Life." This speech was given by
Mrs. Donald Sanders, National
Second Vice President of Alpha
Omicron Pi from Alexandria, Vir-
ginia, and Mrs. Walter Mylander,
Extension Chairman of Alpha Om-
icron Pi from Stevensville, Mary-
Baby-Sitting Suggested

The floor was opened to an in-
formal discussion of possible Greek
projects on campus and in the
community. Several suggestions
were made such as a Panhellenic
Halloween party for faculty chil-
dren, a Panhellenic baby sitting
service on campus, or a Panhellen-
ic blood bank. These and other
ideas were discussed with the vis-
itors from other colleges and uni-

Possibly the most practical and
informative part of the Panhellen-
ic Conference was the discussion
held by Mrs. J. Allen Frear on

ways rush had been handled suc-
cessfully and warned of situations
which should be avoided. Specific
plans for next year's rush program
were discussed and approved.
"Scholarship Standards"

Mrs. Kawley H. Johnson, Pres-
ident of Province III, Alpha Chi
Omega, Rockville, Maryland and
Mrs. Raymond L. Suppes, Nation-
al Extension and Planning Com-
mittees, Alpha Chi Omega, from
Chevy Chase, Maryland, conclud-
ed the conference with a formal
program entitled "Scholarship, Ser-
vice, and Standards."

"Scholarship standards of fra-
ternities," they both stated, "should
be higher than that of the average

great deal of faith in you and your
capabilities or you would not be
here at college. Meet your obliga-
tions," they urged, "and take full
advantage of the opportunities put
before you at Washington College."
Service Is Satisfying
"Greek service is not restricted
to philanthropic projects," they
said. "Serve by working on your
own campus and with alumni
groups. And most important, help
your own members with academic
and personal problems. Nothing
can be more rewarding and satisfy-
ing than service to others.

'Open Partisanship'

Stressing "open partisanship" as
fundamental to the full exchange
of ideas, the program's planners
sought an individual who had de-
monstrated both a scholarly back-
ground and a commitment to a
social movement, according to
planning committee spokesman,
Dan Angert.

As an activist-scholar, Oglesby
will be encouraged to do the same
sort of work he did in SDS, ad-

4 'Hip-Preach ing ' ' Ma Icolm Boyd
Speaks On Relevant Religion

By Judy Thompson
The Reverend Malcolm Boyd,
the "expresso priest" and contem-
porary apostle of religion in the
vernacular, will be on the Wash-
ington College campus Monday
night to present a lecture at 8 p.m.
in William Smith Auditorium.

Reknowned for his methods of

making religion relevant to modern

society, the Episcopal priest has

just finished a scries of appearances

as a night club performer at San

Francisco's "hungry- i," where his

act included readings from his book

of unorthdox prayers, Are You

Running With Me, Jesus?

'Hippier-Than-Thou'

A former advertising executive,

television and Hollywood producer,

rtd Malcolm Boyd was Or-

al id I

Rev. Boyd is
to the church
that it should get off its ass." He
believes that the message of Chris-
tianity should go where the people
are, whether he finds them in
churches or in bars.

Sex, Race, and the Church
His message is delivered through

anecdotal ad libs on such subjects
as premarital sex, homosexuality,
integration, and the institutional
church, which are designed to
break down the gulf between "po-
lite ministers of the Establishment
and other people."

Boyd, who delivered his prayers
at Washington Cathedral with
Charlie Byrd on guitar, states that
"when people talk about evangel-
ism, they talk about Ghana or
some faraway place, not the bar

Peppered With Obscenities

The minister has won ecclesias-
tical disapproval by writing plays
"peppered with cuss words." In
1964 at Detroit's Wayne State Un-
iversity, his play Boy was banned
on the grounds thai it contained
"obscene and vulgar" language.

In 1961, Boyd participated in a
Freedom Ride from New Orleans
to Detroit and is widely known
as a fighter for civil rights and
human liberties of every kind. The
civil rights movement was the re-
cipient of the $4000 salary he earn-
ed during the past month at the
"hungry i," a San Francisco night

As field secretary of the Episco-
pal Society for Cultural and Racial
Unity, Malcolm Boyd stilt finds

Rev. Malcolm Boyd, the "expresso
priest" who created nationwide
sensations with his unorthodox
prayers and sermons, has also been
dubbed "Disturber of the Peace"
and "a member of the Break-
through Generation."

The last time the British invad-
ed the area, Kitty Knight staunch-
ly drove them back single handed
— or so the story goes.

Tomorrow, a band o' Scottish
laddies (and a lassie) will try to
take Chestertown by storm; Kitty
Knight is long gone and rumor has
it that they'll succeed.

Pipe Whiney Tunes

Dressed in colorful kilts and
piping whiney tunes bound in tra-
dition, the Denny and Dunipace
Pipe Band of Washington, D. C,
will lead the Washington College
Homecoming parade through the
streets of Chestertown Saturday af-

Formed a year ago, the band
has since won the Class B Pipe-
Band Clumpionship at the Dela-
ware Highland Games and the an-
nual Irish Counties Association
Fies (festival) in the Bronx, N.
Y., and finished second in the Class
B competition at the annual Round
Hill Highland Games, Stamford,
Conn.

Chisholm Piper Champion

Pipe Major John Chisholm, a
native of Inverness, Scotland, is
the leader of the band. Chisholm
is a champion piper in his own
right, having won most of the ma-
jor piping awards in his native
Scotland before coming to Amer-
ica in 1958.

Denny and Dunipace is a family
band in the true sense of the word.
The Earley family — Frank (the
father) ; Jerry, age 15; Rose Ann,
16; and Stewart, 13 — make up
half of the pipe section. Three
members of the Carey family —
Bob (the father); Tim, age 13;
and Rob, 14; add two more pip-
ers and a drummer to the contin-
gent, and Drum Sgt. Walt Birtlcs
now has his son, Ronny, age 14,

Honor System

As Washington College expands both physically
and academically it must constantly question and ex-
amine its education policies and search for new ideas
and concepts to encourage the self-development of the
individual. One such concept which remains to be ex-
plored by Washington College is the Honor System.

The Honor System is based on the belief that stu-
dents can successfully take the responsibility of estab-
lishing and maintaining standards in social and aca-
demic life. Entailed in this concept are such things as
student sclf-proctoring of examinations, student self-
scheduling of examinations, and student self-respon-
sibility for their social conduct.

What are the implications of such an Honor
System? The effectiveness of the Honor System rests
upon the high sense of inner morality of the student.
When students pledge to abide by an Honor Code they
arc indicating publicly their acceptance of the System
and their intention to live by certain principles.

That a violation of this Code should never occur
is probably inconceivable. But students must resolve
that their ideals shall be maintained, whatever pen-
alties must be imposed to maintain them.

Implicit in the Honor Code is the requirement
that a student report an infraction of which he has
firsthand knowledge. Occasionally, there is the tend-
ency to feel that his requires spying or "tattling."
There is sometimes a tendency to feel that to report
another's breach of honor is to deprive honor of its
personal sanctity.

For any code of rules or Honor System to be effec-
tive, however, there must exist two forms of social
control: one is an individual, inner morality resulting
from religion, education, and public opinion; and the
other is an external control, law. Although distinct in
their mode of operation, these two forms of control are
supplementary.

For the vast majority of students, the Honor Code
will take the first form, that of a set of personal ideals
or code of conduct. In a group of persons with varied
backgrounds and different moral standards, however,
there are always some, who, for a time at least, must
be made to understand that dishonorable conduct has
temporal penalties also, one of which may be a forced
separation from the group whose integrity they have
violated.

It has generally been the conviction of the many
schools that use the Honor System that dishonor will
never be curtailed by curtailing honor, and that those
few who are weak will never be strengthened by
weakening those many who arc strong. It is for this
reason that the Elm suggests careful consideration of
the establishment of an Honor System at Washington
College.

Guitars and Coffee
To Make The Scene

By Alison Howell

Washington College has defin-
ately lacked a place where students
can go on weekends to simply sit
and talk, drink coffee and be en-
tertained. There's always the snack
bar — but how much atmosphere

The idea of an on-campus cof-
fee house was brought up at the
first meeting of the Mt. Vernon
Literary Society. It was decided
that since the nearly defunct or-
ganization has no real function, a
project such as the coffee house
would be worthwhile.

Gibson Approves

A Board of Directors was form-
ed, consisting of Dean Westerdahl.
Dr. Norman James, Mr. Timothy
Maloney and students Cliff Hartkey,
Brian Manson and Alison Howell.
The idea and plans for the coffee
house were presented to President
Gibson who gave Ins whole-hearted
approval.

Once the idea was approved, a
desirable on-campus location had
to be found. Dr. Nathan Smith's
former residence, scheduled to be
torn down, was suggested and ap-
proved. It has two large rooms
downstairs, a fireplace and kitchen
facilities. The upper floors will be
closed off temporarily until the
coffee house is in full operation.

just to give the students a place

therefore, will be small since there
is no profit involved. The Student
Senate has allocated $100 for the

Dean 's Chair
For Afternoon

Few students get the opportunity
to step to I he other side of an
administrative desk and take over
an important position. Last Friday,
however, Queen Anne's House
proctor Pat Hervey had the singu-
lar honor of filling the difficult po-
sition of Dean of Women for the
afternoon.

The problem arose when Dean
Caton had to leave the office for
the afternoon in order to keep a
doctor's appointment. Mrs. Leona
Eaton, Dean Caton's secretary^ was
on vacation and since the Dean of
Women's office is constantly busy
with students seeking advice, it
was necessary to find a temporary

title right? So why aren't we winning? Well, take one cham-
pionship team, lake away its champions and what do you have—
this year's soccer team.

There is no doubt in Coach Alhey's mind or anyone on the
squad that the seed is present for a good team. However, the
seed lies with talented, but inexperienced freshmen like Barry
Drew, Joe Nichols, Dave Isherwoodj Pete Johnson, Bob Lehman
and others.

This talent is not yet developed, and until it is the soccer
team will have to rel) primarily or drivej hustle and spirit to win
games. Until the assorted factors begin to gel the Sho'men will
have plenty of trouble.

Washington Players Focus
Upon Salem Witch Trials

The Washington College Play-
ers will open their fall season No-
vember 10, 11, 12 with The Cru-
cible, a drama about the devastat-
ing consequences of the Salem
witch trials. The hounding to
death of nonconformist John Proc-
tor constitutes the main theme of
this Arthur Miller tragedy.

Contemporary cthnocentrism is
reflected to a large degree in the
character portrayals. Prejudice,
mass hysteria, and fanaticism could
easily be carried to their limits in
the Puritan Village of Salem,
Massachusetts. Religious beliefs
were distorted by fear and ignor-
ance to the extent that superstition
became a dominant part of life,
creating mass hysteria over unex-
plainablc events.

Forest Frivolities

In The Crucible, several girls
caught in defiance of Puritan stan-
dards try to justify their actions.
Their dancing in the forest implied
a rendezvous with the devil, as
did frivolities or any type. To es-
cape punishment, the girls falsely
accuse others of witchcraft. Snow-
balling, the entire community is
disrupted. No one can evade the
damning accusation. If one strong
character does stand up against the
confused mass conformity, the mob
will turn against him. John Proc-

rcached in the historic Salem witel
trials of 1692. Although the de
veloprnent and denoument are bas
ed on historic fact, marked con
temporary overtones reflect the tur
bulent era of the McCarthy trial
at the time when The Crucibl.
was first presented.

Literature Not Formal
According to Dr. Gerda Blumen-
thal, Chairman of the Department
of Foreign Languages at Washing-
ton College, Poulet docs not view
literature as a formal arrangement
which can be analyzed in terms of

Instead Poulet views a work, not
ms describing an experience through
the use of words, but feels that the
work itself is the experience. In
creating literature, the artist's con-
sciousness becomes aware of itself
and the actual writing of the work
is itself die aesthetic experience.

"This college generation is a ter-

which will have nothing to do with
the organized church," said the
Rev. Malcolm Boyd, Episcopal
"chaplain-at-large".

Rev. Boyd, author of Are You
Running With Me, Jesus?, spoke
before a standing-room-only crowd
in William Smith Auditorium,
Monday evening.

Once an atheist, Rev. Boyd is
now "communicating to the church
that it should get off its ass."

The established church is not
being heard at all today by the

ple, there are joyful people, there

are unhappy people. I say that the
church in its fundamental sense is
dealing with these things, and this
is the underground church," con-
tinued Boyd.

Worship Religion, Not God

Discussing problems that have
beset the church, Boyd stated that
"people art- worshipping religion
instead of God." He went on to
say that the new generation will
not accept this practice.

Boyd had some sharp words for
Sunday school programs, telling the
audience that Sunday schools made
more atheists than Nikita Khrush-
chev ever could.

Church Failure In Walls

Boyd termed the Watts situa-
tion as a "revolution, not a riot."
He said that conditions in Watts
imprisoned the Negro and kept
him contained in the ghetto. Boyd
cited the failure of the church to
exercise leadership in Watts as one
of the underlying causes for the

7 sfefeu Lambda's Win Football Cup;

THE WASHINGTON elm Tennis, Soccer Scheduled

SPORTS

Soccer

Spotlights

By Dick Louck

(Elm soccer columnist Dick Louck is a member of the
S ho' men Soccer team.)

The Washington College soccer team finally put every-
thing together in the right places last Saturday for a stunning
defeat of Homecoming guest Lycoming College. The players
seemed to sense victory from the beginning, and determined ef-
fort and teamwork led to the 6-0 victory, the first for the Sho'-
men in four outings.

Coach Athey, early in the week bejore the game, found a
scoring combination which clicked by moving Dave Isherwood
to the center forward position and changing back to the five
man front line, which emphasizes the offense. This alignment
is only possible with superb wing halfback play, adequately
supplied by Cliff Hankey and Barry Drew.

One sour note on an otherwise beautiful afternoon in last
Saturday's win was the injury to Barry Drew, a knee injury
which will keep him sidelined for, hopefully, only one week.
Barry had to leave the game before the Sho'men unloaded on
the hapless Warriors from Lycoming, and Jay Schwartz took
over the difficult halfback slot.

A winning spirit, and a credo, contrary to the old cliche
that it's not whether you win or lose, but how you played the
game, helped the Sho'men to victory! This credo, scribbled by
some amateur bard on the blackboard before the game stated
simply: "If you don't play to win, then why keep score?"

The score told the story of Saturday's game. The Sho'men
dominated the game both offensively and defensively. Dick
Checket played perhaps the best game of his career, scoring
two goals and generally playing, as he admits, "better than I
ever thought I could, I can't understand it."

The "new look" Sho'men met Western Maryland Mon-
day, Loyola yesterday, and take on the always tough Mt. St.
Mary's team Saturday on Kibler Field. Several fans commented
that the team was finally playing as a team in Saturday's game.
To come out on the winning side after meeting this week's
foes will take plenty of teamwork.

Western Maryland has a potential All-American in goalie
Coburn, and an offensive threat in their right wing. Loyola
usually has a good team, and this year should be no exception,
since they lost only one goal to perennial powerhouse Baltimore
U. Then there is Mt. St. Mary's. Let me say only that they
beat Randolph-Macon handily. This same Macon team swamn

In playing the final game against
Kappa Alpha, the Lambda's en-
countered an unexpectedly tough
defense. The first half of the game
ended in a scoreless tic as the
Lambda Chi's made numerous long
gains only to be stopped by a tough
KA goal line squad. Lambda Chi
offensive blockers were able to give
quarterback Harry Webb plenty of
time to throw the ball but the KA
pass defenders made a number of
saves deep in their own territory.

The second half begain with the
Lambda Chi offense again making
long gains until, finally, quarter-
back Harry Webb threw a 30 yard
touchdown pass to end John Men*
dell for the game's only score. De-
fensively, the Lambda's were able
to keep the KA's deep in their

(As the Elm goes to press, it
has been learned that Chester-

an editorial in defense of Dr.
Tapke.)

A Dedicated Christian

In his original letter to the Sun,
Dr. Tapke, who spent part of (he
past summer at the Pacific School
of Religion in Berkeley, California,
auditing courses by Bishop Pike
and others, defended the personal
and intellectual integrity of the
controversial bishop.

"To try Bishop Pike for heresy,'

vholi- point of such

as Tillich and Bult-

mann has been to interpret these

doctrines in a non-literal way."

Intellectual Backwater

Professor Tapke suggested to
Bishop Miller, finally, that he
could find more constructive things
to do than prosecute Bishop Pike
for heresy, noting that such action
was bound to convey to the general
public an image of the Eastern
Shore as a "refuge of intellectual
backwardness and reaction."

t with injuries, this team that beat
favored Mt. St. Mary's last Saturday is not good — it's great!
Coach Athey contributed the win to hustle; to that I would like
to add two other ingredients - heart, and one of the most confus-
ing and uncoordinated offense's ever presented on Kibler plain.
The Sho'men obviously outhustled the visiting Mount, but in
addition, the switching wide-open kick and run offense of the
Sho'men confused the Mount defense sufficiently to all several
point-blank shots at the goal. On the other end, Al Perry turned
in an excellent performance in the Sho' goal.

The win, only the second for the injury-ridden squad, was a
welcome and happy ending to an otherwise unhappy week. No
one likes a tie, but Western Maryland thought that better than
. a loss as they knotted last Monday's fracas at 2-2 late in the
■ fourth quarter to send the game into overtime, which also went
scoreless.

Last Wednesday the Sho'men found that they had grabbed a
big green Catholic tiger by the tail in the person of the Loyola
College team, as they floundered under a 3-0 loss. The Grey-
hounds (Greyhounds?!) controlled the game very well, and the
Sho'men suffered a humiliating defeat by the not too likeable
Hounds.

ence record at 3-3.

Sho' Depth

The Greyhounds' Andy Carter
easily took first place, but the Sho'-
men's Bob Bittenbender, Sam Mar-
tin, and Ben Whitman took the
next three positions.

Dave Stokes, Buddy Jastram,
Dave Cohn, Bill Leonard, and Lem
Harris took the 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th,
and 1 1th slots to be within thirty
seconds of each other and to se-
cure the victory for Washington
College.

Bittcnbender's Best Race

Last Saturday Bittenbender and
Martin produced their best races
of the season running against the
Mounts. Bittenbender lost to Else!
by only five seconds and Martin
showed his mettle by copping
fourth place.

In these two races Cohn, Stokes
and Harris improved their best
times for the season which, accord-
ing to Coach Chatellier, "may well
prove to be the decisive factor in
the upcoming meets."

So far Coach Don Chatellier has
had to depend heavily on his first
three runners. However, it looks
as if whatever he gets

Tomorrow the Sho'men will
travel to Doylestown, Pa., to face
Delaware Valley and Pennsylvania
Military College in a tri-mect. This
is a crucial race because it will de-
termine whether or not the thin-
clads will have a winning season.

Last year the Sho'men lost to
Delaware Valley 27-30 and were
thoroughly outclassed by P, M. C.

Chatellier commented that, "we
haven't really had a tough meet

Mike Kelly scored the touchdown

Susquehanna has two of the fin-

be our toughest M.A.C. foe." If
the Sho'men can split these last
four meets, they will produce the

Referendum Vote

Last Friday's less than one-third turnout for the
Freshman Steering Committee referendum was dis-
appointing, but not unpredictable.

As is the case with issues that do not immediately,
or for that matter, ever, affect the current voting pub-
lic, it is natural for students not to care enough about
the issue to vote either for or against it.

However, looking at just the substantive issue in-
volved in the referendum, there is little to be said
against the idea of a Freshman Steering Committee.
(As a matter of fact, an overwhelming majority of
those voting in last Friday's ill-fated referendum voted
for the Committee.)

The purpose of the Steering Committee is to give
the Freshman Class informal leadership for class func-
tions such as the Homecoming float, stunt night and
Christmas dinner. In previous years, the Freshman
class has had no leadership until it elected officers
second semester. This has hindered first semester plan-
ning of class events.

While the issue may be uninspiring, let us not drag
it out any further. The Elm urges students to vote
affirmatively Monday, when the Student Government
Association will once again try to garner the neces-
sary two-thirds vote.

Agnew Triumphs

One astute television commentator election night
observed, "You know there is something wrong with
a candidate who has a slogan like 'A Home Is Your
Castle' and signs it to the tune of 'Bells of Saint
Mary.' "

A plurality of Maryland voters seemed to agree
with this assessment of Gubernatorial candidate
George Mahoney and decided that they did not want
to be entombed in a "castle" while the rest of the
world passes them by. Hence came the election of
Spiro T. Agnew as governor of Maryland.

All is not rosy for Mr. Agnew as he takes over the
governorship, however. He is not a man of immense
ability, and he will probably find it difficult to face
the massive problems of Maryland. No doubt com-
pounding his problems will be a predominantly Dem-
ocratic state legislature. He will have
his political skills and learn some new ones.

Democracy is simply the right to choose be
alternatives. While neither alternative in the Mary-
land race was superb, the better man did win.

of the Alumni
Chapters, he indicated that the
groups were to remain under the
control of the individuals in each
of the groups. Whatever assistance
his office is able to provide to help
the chapters with plans, projects
and ideas is eagerly given, Mr.
Gates remarked.

Five Big Aims
The new Director has five ob-
jectives which he keeps in mind
while working with and for the
Alumni Chapter groups: 1 ) To
keep the Alumni informed of Col-
lege developments; 2) To improve
the organization within the Alumni
Chapter groups; 3) To encourage
Alumni to keep in touch with the
Alumni Office, informing them of
the latest personal news and
achievements: 4) To promote the
"selling" of the College by Alumni
to prospective students; 5) To

SPORTS

Soccer

Spotlights

By Dick Louck

Coach AiIut, el the soccer team, labeled iliis as a building
year for his young squad. With three panics left to be played
— two of those rescheduled because of previous had weather—
this year's team could, at best, have only a mediocre 4-5-1
. record.

Injuries, inexperience and inclement weather were the
main factors in this year's poor showing. Yet, with a poor
record and no chance for any kind of championship this year.
Coach Athey remains in good spirits. Mr has good reason for
optimism.

The entire offensive line will return next year, barring
unforseen difficulties, or in a word — academics. Goalie Perry
will return with a solid defense in front of him which has had
a year's experience. Halfback returnees Jay Schwartz, Ford
Schumann, Bob Lehman and odiers will also help.

As a matter of fact. Coach Athey will have practically
the same team next year as he did this year. Where then, will
come the improvement? Here, experience is the key word.
But another important factor must be considered.

Sho'men opponents in league play will in many cases be
hit harder than Washington College. Hopkin's spark plug
fireplug?) Pablo Drobny will graduate, as will Western Mary-
land's Cnhurn and others on that team. Mt. St. Mary's will
lose both of their star wings. Delaware, Loyola, and Randolph
Macon will lose key players through graduation.

I don't want in sound too optimistic at this time, primar-
ily because of the always teuiLing spectre of the academic
axe rutting away some key players from next year's Sho'
squad, but on the surface, Coach Athey must be looking for-
ward to renewed success by future soccer squads. For the
present, this year's squad must now try to salvage what they
can from an otherwise dismal season by winning these last

A similar experience could be

noble, althought it is impossible

to see his magnificent leaps will
be disappointed because they do
not exist here. What will be found,
however, is one of Nureyev's most
powerful performances, and one
which enhances his image as the
danseur noble of the world. His
graceful portrayal of Romeo is a

Alice Lake, who wrote the Sev-
enteen artiele, and who interview-

ed teen-agers from all walks of life
to supplement the survey, conclud-
es: "The world of drugs contains
every clement appealing to youth's
conforming nonconformity," A col-
lege freshman told her, "Taking
drugs is the cool thing to do . . .
It's in." Pressure from the crowd
is another factor inducing teen-
agers to try drugs. ("I couldn't
say no, not be part of the group,"
explained a 15-year-old from Il-
linois.) In some schools, drug us-
ers form an exclusive clique ("It's
something to do at a party and
then brag about.").

Other factors: the fun of hor-
rifying parents, the secrecy, the
danger, the new '"in" language —
"joint" is slang for a marijuana
cigarette, a "nickel bag" is five

old.

Part-time students are no longer

have been requiring students to
carry a full schedule to be defined
as "full time." Previously, students
were often allowed to carry three-
quarters of a normal year's load
and were still considered full time.
Now hoards are asking their 2-S

Although reception guests will be

Thanksgiving, 1966

In many homes both in this country and in North
and South Vietnam, there is a vacant seat at the
dinner table. As we prepare to head home for Thanks-
giving, 1966, we arc, as glaringly as ever, confronted
with one of the greatest dilemmas of human society.
Mankind prays for peace and yet we still live in a
state of international anarchy and war.

What all of us can do, when we sit down to that
traditional Thanksgiving Day feast, is to pause —
evaluate ourselves and our own society first to gain
perhaps some valuable insights into the causes of this
dilemma.

In 1789, George Washington, in his Thanksgiving
Day proclamation, proposed thanks for constitutional
government which was the servant rather than the
master of the people. Let us hope that the governments
of the world collectively may become servants and
of the people.

Disquieting Figure

Reverend Malcolm Boyd was recently included in a "Life"
magazine list of the one hundred most influential Americans.
His recent visit to Chestertown demonstrated why he was chosen
for this distinction.

Mr. Boyd was a disquieting figure in Chesiertown. He was
also an inspirational one. He feels, as do many realists within
the clergy, that to reach the people he must leave the altar and
join other forces in society. From the altar Mr. Boyd comes,
approaching the people the churches miss. In a night club act
offering "pop prayers", with Charlie Byrd on a jazz recording,
or on one hundred twenty campuses yearly he tries to "get
tli rough".

It is now readily apparent that his rec
town has kindled a new spirit — one which
doctrines of the church and of the commi
student concern imparted by Mr. Boyd has materalized into sev-
eral campus projects. The tutorial program, the result of th>
minal Boyd visit, has become the target of regenerated
As a result of the lecture, the Wesley Club has established plans
for a program calculated to supervise after-school activity at
Garnett Elementary School. The club has also issued an invita-
tion to Reverend Richard R. Hicks to address a campus forum.
Mr. Hicks has been asked why Negroes in Chestertown are not
pulling themselves out of their desperate conditions.

The Student Senate has arranged for Mr. C. David Haacke,
mayor of Chestertown, to speak here Tuesday. Mayor Haacke
will speak on substandard housing in Chestertown. The Ches-
tertown clergy, also seemingly moved by Mr. Boyd, has estab-
lished a conference headed by Reverend Robert T. Hollett of
Emmanuel Episcopal Church. The conference pi;
nation of local civic problems.

To the traditionalists who take offense at Mr. Boyd's candid
style, we can offer only a pragmatic retort— he did "get through."

The "message" comes through loud
and clear, but due to the theme's
repetition in our own time, it loses
the impact. (This "message play"
idea is also apparent in Miller's
recent After The Fall.)

The dialogue in Act I becomes
trite too often, but this is partially
i < mp'.'ns.it.'d for in Act II.
Court Room Scene

The culminating court room
scene demonstrates the play's best
and worst aspects. The tension is
built up well, but too often there
is excessive noise just for the sake
of making sounds for the audience.

An effective contrast to this is
John Merrill, who is loud only
when necessary and is particularly
good. Freshman Peter Herbs t
gave the most outstanding perfor-
mance of the evening. His John
Proctor was a compasionate man
whose anguish and hope were
superbly shown by Mr. Herbst.

China's Future Boss

A Political Profile

Chinese Defense Minister
Seen As Heir Apparent

Of Lin Piao

by Dr. Thomas S. An
(Editors note: Dr. Thomas S.
An, Assistant Professor of Political
Science, is Director of the Inter-
national Studies Program at Wash-
ington College. Dr. An's most re-
cent article appeared in the July-
August issue of Problems of Com-
munism.)

In the midst of the current na-
tion-wide upheaval in Communist
China which Peking euphemisti-
cally calls "the Great Proletarian
Cultural Revolution," Marshall Lin
Piao's star has risen dramatically
as the leading contender for Mao
Tse-tung's mantle. Defense Minister
Lin is currently the sole official
propagator and interpreter of the
Maoist Communist dogma. Chair-
man Mao is now old and feeble
and appears to have left the mun-
dane affairs of the state and party
to the 58-year-old Marshall Lin.
Lin's name is appearing more fre-
quently in the press as the authori-
tative voice of the Peking hier-
archy. For the China Watchers, it
is now difficult to tell just where
Chairman Mao's authority ends
and Mr. Lin's begins.

Major Casualties

So far, the major casualties in

the recent hierarchical reshuffle in

visiiuiist professionalism" that in-
sisted on the strategic importance
of nuclear weapons in modem war-
fare and considered the Maoist
strategic doctrine of "people war"
(guerrilla warfare) dangerously an-
achronistic as a defense against
modern American technology.
Eliminate 'Revisionists'
Marshall Lin's army newspaper,
Chieh-fang-chun Pao, has led the
attack on the important Peking
municipal branch of the Chinese
Communist Party and also spear-
headed the campaign t<> eliminate
alleged "foreign, bourgeois and re-
visionist" elements from Chinese
society. He was recently called by
the Chinese Communist press the
"most intimate comrade-in-arms of
Chairman Mao, his best disciple '
and best example in creatively ap-
plying Chairman Mao's thought.

Pe-

China have

. Lfti

Shao-ch'i, P'eng Chen and Gen-
eral Lo Jui-ch'ing, who may have
not been full-fledged opponents but
may have merely counseled to mod-
ify some excesses of the Maoist
Communist line. P'eng Chen, 67-
year-old veteran revolutionary, who
had been Mao's faithful follower
since early revolutionary days, and
his chief subordinates in the Pe-
king Party Committee were purged
last June. (According to reliable
Hong Kong sources, P'eng is be-
lieved to have committed suicide
in prison.) Liu Shao-ch'i, head of
state and formerly Mao's second-
in-command, has not been purged
yet, but has been brutally demoted
from second to eighth place in of-
ficial party rankings. Worse may
be in store for him. General Lo,
Chief of the General Staff of the
Chinese Communist armed forces
and former chief of secret police,
has been absent from public view
since November 1965. The recent
Army Day (August 1) editorial of
Chich-fang-chun Pao (Liberation
Army Daily), a newspaper con-
trolled by Marshall Lin and his
Ministry of Defense, indicated that
General Lo had been purged on

king, Chairman Mao and Defense
Minister Lin appeared in army
uniform to symbolize his close re-
lationship with Mr. Lin — his new
choice as heir apparent. Marshall
Lin spoke on Mr. Mao's behalf.
Premier Chou En-lai, moreover, in
his speeches, pointedly urged the
Chinese people to "respond to the
call of Comrade Lin Piao." In
recent months, radio stations and
newspapers throughout Communist
China have inaugurated a massive
"Learn From Comrade Lin Piao"
campaign.

Intensified Adulation

In short, the campaign to glori-
fy Lin Piao and underline his new
role as heir apparent to Mao, Com-
munist China's living deity, is now
nu'n\lii lining and undisguised.
The intensified adulation of Mar-
shall Lin appears to be aimed
partly at increasing his stature in
preparation for his eventual suc-
cession to Chairman Mao and part-
ly at strengthening his hand for
further purging of important party
and government figures.

In this connection, it is inter-

ofile.

ieful t

: Mar-

Mao Tse-tung's most trusted po-
litical and military associates, with
some exception, have been natives
of the Provinces of Hunan (Mao's
birthplace), Szer.huan and Hupeh.
Marshall Lin Piao is from Hupeh.

Lin Piao (his original name was
Lin Yu-yung and the literal Eng-

lish .

..f Lin

born in 1907 in Ungkung, Hupeh
Province. His parents were of the
lower middle class. His father own-
ed a small textile mill and went
bankrupt at the time of his grad-
uation from elementary school. But
bright boy and managed

to attend middle school whe
was attracted by political radical-
ism. His left-wing orientation be-
gan at the age of eleven.
Honor Student

After graduation from middle
school in 1925, Lin gained admis-
sion to the Whampoa Military
Academy at Canton as a cadet of
the fourth class. By this time he
was already a member of the Com-
munist Youth League, and joined
the Chinese Communist Party in
1927.

At Whampoa, Lin was an honor
student and received intensive po-
litical and military training under
Chiang Kai-shek, the director, who
was later to become President of
Nationalist China ; Chou En-lai,
political tutor, who is now the
Chinese Communist Premier; and
Russian General Bluechcr, Chiang's
chief adviser.

Colonel In Army

Upon graduation from Wham-
poa in 1926, Lin was commission-
ed and participated in Chiang Kai-
sheck's Northern Expedition of
1926-27. He was soon promoted
to captain and in 1927, at the age
of 19, rose to colonel in the Fourth
Kuomintang Army under Chang
Fa-kuei.

When Chiang Kai-shek turned
against the Chinese Communists in
August 1927, Lin abandoned his
brilliant career in the Kuomintang

the Communist insurgents at Nan-
chang. After the Nanchang Up-
rising was crushed he fled with
Chu Teh to Kiangsi Province from

aganist the Nationalists.
Close To Mao

In May, 1928 Lin met Mao
Tae-tung at Chingkangshan in the
Kiangsi hinterland for the first
time. He has since been very close
to Mao personally and politically.
In the Communist camp Lin rose
to prominence repadily.

Lin Piao commanded a battalion
in Chu Teh's 28th Regiment in
the early days of its formation and
in 1929 the Red Fourth Army for
a while. In 1932, at the age of 24,
he became the commander-in-chief
of the First Red Army Corps, num-
bering 20,000 rifles. Thereafter, he

Brilliant Military Scholar

Marshal] Lin established a rep-
tation as a brilliant military

:holar and strategist in a protract-

. Com

Naiiimalists for control of China
and during the Sino-Japanese war.
It was his brilliant planning as
well as First Army Corps that
broke the deadly Nationalist en-
circlement and led the legendary
Long March (6,000 miles across
18 mountain ranges and 24 rivers)
of the Chinese Communists suc-
cessfully to Yenan in 1935.

In October, 1937 Lin's troops
(the 115th Division of the Eighth
Route Army) won the first major
military victory against Japan by
trapping and annihilating the Jap-
anese 5th (Itagaki) Division in
narrow P'ing-hsing Pass in north-
eastern Shensi. But he was severely
wounded in this battle and receiv-
ed medical treatment in the Soviet
Union between 1938 and 1942.
While receiving medical treatment
in Moscow, he also studied at the
Soviet Red Army Academy. Upon
his return to Chinese Communist
wartime headquarters at Yenan in
1942, he was made head of the
Chinese Communist military acad-
emy called "the Military Political

University fon Resisting Japan."
Military Base Established
Immediately after the Japanese
surrender in 1945, Lin descended
upon Manchuria with about 100,-
000 guerrillas. He had the crucial
mission of consolidating the area
as a base for the Chinese Commu-
nist conquest of China proper. His
mission was well accomplished and
this enabled the Chinese Commu-
nists to transform their forces from
guerrilla units into something close-
ly resembling a regular field army.
In 1948, his troops conquered the

Chinese Communist Party and
Chinese society. In recent years,
he has been obsessed with one
problem above all others : the
danger that his brand of commu-
nism in China will degenrate after
his death into Soviet-type revision-
Two Maoist Goals
Almost desperate in his final
years, Mr. Mao seems intent on
accomplishing two goals: (1) to
wipe out the comfortable "bour-
geois" temptations of Soviet-style
revisionism in his Communist Party

entire northeastern China, to begin
the final defeat of the Nationalist
armies. His crack Fourth Field
Army attacked the United Nations
forces in Korea starting in Novem-
ber, 1950. Reportedly he was again
seriously wounded and surrendered
his command to Marshall P'eng
Teh-huai.

After the complete Chinese
Communist triumph, Lin Piao held
the important party, military and
governmental positions in the Cen-
tral South administrative region,
with headquarters at Hankow, un-
til 1954, when such areas were
abolished. He dropped out of pub-
lic sight in 1952 and was reported
sick of tuberculosis or recuperating
from wounds suffered in Korea.
Lin Joins Politburo

Lin became a Vice Premier and
Vice Chairman of the National
Defense Council in 1954. A year
later Communist China for the
first time created the rank of Mar-
shall and General Lin was one of
ten promoted to the rank. In 1955
he was appointed a member of the
Politburo of the Central Committee
of the Chinese Communist Party.
He was made additional Vice
Chairman of the Central Commit-
tee of the Party and member oi
the Standing Committee of the

: Chin

nly ,

set — about 700 million Chinese
people — by intensive "spiritual"
indoctrination. By condemning the
growth of materialism in Chinese
society and calling for the creation
of a new kind of human being,
Chairman Mao has in fact replac-
ed dialectical materialism with, in
the words of Robert Elegant, "di-
alectical spirituality."

A great deal of evidences sug-
gest that Mr. Mao is deeply dis-
appointed with his Communist
Party apparatus which, in his opin-
ion, succumbed to the same temp-
tations that corrupted centuries of
Chinese officialdom, after having
slain the monsters of capitalism.
The key policy debate apparently
took place within the ruling Cin-
cse Communist hierarchy in Sep-
tember 1965. At this meeting,
Chairman Mao presumably laid
down the doctrinal tine aimed at
fully the 70-millio

Poll

L Of

the Eighth National Party Congress
in May, 1958. In September, 1959
he succeeded Marshall P'eng Teh-
huai as Defense Minister after the
latter was purged. In the recent
past, he became Chairman of the
powerful Military Affairs Commit-
tee of the Party's Central Com-
mittee, a post formerly held by
Mao Tse-tung.

In summary, Marshall Lin Piao
is a tough professional soldier to
the care and one of Communist
China's most competent and re-
spected military leaders. He has
a blend of "red" and "expert" and,
unlike American generals, is a man
with both brilliant strategic-tacti-
cal abilities and wide-ranging po-
litical training. Along with Mar-
shall Chu Teh, he carried the high-

in his country.

Little is known of Lin Piao's
family life except for his marriage
in 1937 to Liu Hsi-hing and birth
to them of a daughter and son.

Thei

t Chair

man Mao is personally directing
the current purge with Marshall
Lin's assistance. "The Great Pro-
letarian Cultural Revolution,''
which is essentially a "spiritual"
movement, is Mao's last attempt
to restore ideological purity to the

dogmatic "Great Leap Forward"
as well as for the contingency of
an attack by the United States as
a result of the escalation of the
Vietnam war. (In 1965 Peking's
spokesmen expressed a genuine fear
that the United States would ex-
tend the Vietnam war to the Chin-
ese mainland. B u t Communist
China seems to have taken no spec-
ial steps to gird itself for clash.)
But he was supported by only a
minority within the Communist
hierarchy, and the majority was
in favor of pursuing more flexible
policy in domestic as well as for-

Mao decided to depend more heav-
ily on Defense Minister Lin Piao,
his most ardent and trusted dis-
ciple, and his army.

China's Wonder Boy

Not only did Mao admire Mar-
shall Lin personally. (Mao once
called him "China's wonder boy.")
He also admired the way Lin re-
asserted, in 1959, the primacy of
the Party over the army, especially
restive professional army officers,
and indoctrinated Chinese Com-
munist armed forces in much the
same fashion Mao wished to see
all of China indoctrinated.

Out of the alliance with Mar-
shall Lin, then, came the "Great
Proletarian Cultural Revolution" —
the grand design to rejuvenate

Spotlights

By Dick Louck

Score: Washingotn 4, Wagner 0, Well it's about time! And
as they say in the comic strips, "It was a long hard season.''
Finally, the Sho'men put together some of the latent talent they
had shown all season, aided a little by a lack of injuries to the
tine squad, and bombed the outplayed pitch squad from

Statcn Island.

i that I lost an article by printing sort of
irticle last week, on the chances of having a good team
next year. It becomes a problem to find material for a column
about a team with 3-6-1 record. As a consequence this edition
of the column will be rather piecemeal.

One aspect of the team which has been overlooked this
year is the coach, Probably most of you readers have heard
praise of Mr. Alhey in some way or another. I imagine few
have ever heard the locker-room talk and some of the great
experiences had by some of the members of his teams.

I myself was consistently bewildered by Coach Athcy's lack
of despair at having such a poor season. His spirit was, to say
the least, indomitable. This spirit was infused "
well, implemented by their refusal to give up
team was lower in the standings than most socci
Washington College have been.

One highlight of this spirit was disclosed as
spread around the locker room after last Friday's win over
Wagner, that this win was Mr. Atliey's 99th in collegiate soccer.
Several players were very anxious to play the previously can-
celed game against Hofstra, for no other reason than to get
that 100th win for the coach.

An amusing parallel to this is that Coach Chatelliefs boys
were equally devoted to the job of getting that 100th loss for
their favorite coach.

One sight especially makes one think how much Coach
Athcy loves and enjoys working with his boys. There was a
practice session where Coach Athcy was needed to fill one of
the positions on the squad to complete the line-up. Trying to
head the ball and wearing a baseball cap are definitely incom-
patible, so turning the cap around Rooty Ka^ooty style. Coach
Athcy continued to play, happy as a twenty-year-old schoolboy.

Eternal spirit, it seems that's what the coach has. Pepper,
enthusiasm, and a sincerity rarely found in people. Few others
can command the respect that will force a player to sustain a
"nicotine fit" rather than light up that relieving cigarette
around the coach.

If the resounding victory over Wagner is any indication of
ear's squad, then I would say that next

Washington College will host

Kiblcr Field. Eleven schools are
expected to compete in the meet
which will begin at 1:30 p.m.

The Southern Division of the
Mason-Dixon Conference will be

Virginia: Randolph Macon, Ro-
anoke, Bridgewatcr and defending
champion Old Dominion. Entrants
from the Northern Division, aside
from the Sho'men, will be Cath-
olic University and Gallaudet Col-
lege of Washington, D. C, Johns
Hopkins, Loyola and Towson State
from the Baltimore area, and
Mount St. Mary's from Emitts-
burg.

Catholic U. Favored

According to Sho'men mentor
Donald Chatellicr, "the Catholic
University runners must be con-
sidered the prc-mcet favorites on
the basis of their performances
this season." Last week-end Cath-
olic University passed up the Gal-
laudet Invitational to compete in
the NCAA College Cross-Country
Championships in Wheaton, Ohio.
Catholic University will be led by
freshman standout Jerry Price who
Chattellicr feels "is the man to
beat in the race this Saturday."

Other harriers who will be con-
tending for some of the fifteen
medals to be given are Dennis
Patten (Towson), Steve Baldwin
(Gallaudet), Jim Clarke (Mt. St.
Mary's ) , Andy Carter ( Loyola )
and Robert Peckham (Randolph-
Macon).

lOth-Piace Finish

The Washington College cross-
country team will hope to improve
upon last year's lOth-place finish.
The Sho'men will be led by junior
Ben Whitman who has placed
35th and 37th respectively in the
championships for the past two
seasons. Sophomore Bob Bittenben-
dcr finished 45th last season and
freshman Sam Martin has yet to
be tested in a championship meet.
Others to compete for Washington
College will be senior Dave Cohn.
sophomores Lem Harris and Dave
Stokes and freshman Bill Leonard.

The meet will be run over Wash-
ington College's new 4.25-mile
course which will start on the prac-
tice soccer field and finish on the
track. Chatellicr has said that "the
course as compared to others in
the Mason-Dixon Conference is
grassy and moderately hilly. '.

Unless Soviet military strategy
has recently changed, Chestertown
ranks far' down on the list of top
priority American targets. The
dubious priority honors belong in
part to Chestertown's nearby
neighbors — Washington, Phila-
delphia, and Baltimore, although
critics say the latter city gives the
appearance of having been devas-
tated for years.

Chestertown Safe

Should a nuclear holocaust pul-
verize our urban neighbors, Ches-
tertown is ideally located to re-
ceive the resulting fallout in large
doses, contaminating the Vitality
of the local atmosphere. Alert lo-
cal and college officials, aware of
such potential dangers, joined with
federal administrators to devise a
defense and shelter plan to protect
I he populace.

Washington College, doing its
part to meet the challenge of the
times, purchased
stuffs, and had shelter
ignated on campus. Several gciger
counters were acquired, although
the mechanics of their operation
no doubt remained a mystery to
those outside the Science Depart-

Bandaids Available

Few medical supplies were stock-
ed, under the somewhat dubious
assumption that the nearby Kent
and Queen Anne's Hospital could
handle emergency relief quickly
and efficiently, much in the same
manner as the Student Health Ser-
vice has operated in the past dur-
ing periods of quietude.

Alas and alack, as great crusades
and reforms atrophy after their
initial impact has subsided, so too
has the Civil Defense drive drifted
into the background. Little by lit-
tle, the emergency food stockpile
(aged Metrccal and all) has been
turned over to the Food Services
Director, presumably for incorpor-
ation into the daily menu, and
has not been replaced. The geiger
counters, rusted and unused, may
or may not be with us still.
Bomb Age

Only the fallout shelters remain.
In the I950's, when people realized
that they were indeed living in
the Age of the Bomb, they scur-
ried to build concrete blockhouses
burrowed far beneath the ground.
As the Bomb grew larger, the
shelter theory was revised, and less
substantial, often partially unen-

tion against fallout
the blast itself.

Should the fateful day ever

representative places as East Hall,

College Loosens Distribution Plan

Faculty Votes Inclusion
Of Art, Drama, Music

With

faculty meeting and a near-unan-
imous vote of the Student Govern-
ment Association's regular meeting,
both held Monday evening, the

distribution requirements was vot- j
ed into effect, beginning next Sep-
tember.

The changes in the distribution
requirements represent a liberali-
zation or loosening of the policies,
rather than a tightening of the
demands of the distributional re-
quirements.

be taken from any one group. The
subjects included in group num-
ber one are: Mathematics, Biology,
Chemistry, and Physics; in group
two: History, Ecnonomics, Politi-
cal Science, Psychology, and Soci-
ology; and in group three: Litera-
ture, Philosophy, Music, Art, and
Drama.

In an Elm interview, Dr. Nicho-
las Newlin, Dean of the College,
pointed out that the necessity for

Dos Passos, Wentzel
Scheduled To Speak

Washington College will be host
this week to the noted American
author John Dos Passos and Volk-
mar Wentzel, world famous pho-
tographer and ■ traveler. Both are
appearing under the College's
Louttit-George Lecture Series.

John Dos Passos, who will speak
in William Smith Auditorium to-
day at 1 : 30, is widely known as a
prolific writer and commentator on
sociological aspects of most of the
critical periods in recent American
history.

Disillusioned by his experiences
in World War I Baltimore's fam-
ed citizen wrote Three Soldiers, a
novel which stripped war of its
glamor. His sympathies in. the
1920's lay with the Left, yet after
his experiences in the Spanish Civil
War, his interests turned to the
Right and deepened his study of
ory and the demo-

Everest, to dinner with Pandit
Nehru, to the Vopos of the Ber-
lin Wall, to Albert Schweitzer's
hospital, and to the Cameroons
court of Sultan Rei Bouba, who
owns 54 wives.

Wentzel will present his "Slide
Lecture on Portuguese Africa" to
the student body tomorrow at 8 : 00
p.m. in Hynson Lounge. A leading
authority on Portugese Africa, he
has traced Livingstone's route up
the Zambesi River in Mozambique
and was knighted with the Military
Order of Christ by the Portuguese
Government.

revising the distribution require-
ments arose in the attempts to
include the Fine Arts courses in
the curriculum, with particular at-
tention to the fact that Music and
Art will be offered as majors with-
in the next few yean.

"Good Solution"
In the student Senate meeting,
there were some arguments on dif-
ferent aspects of the proposed
changes. But there was strong
general agreement that some
changes were necessary, and that

a reasonably good solution to the
problems arising from the expan-
sion of the Fine Arts curriculum.
Dean of Men Carl Westerdahl at-
tended the Senate meeting, and
took the Senate's opinion to the
faculty meeting, which began later
that evening.

Dean Newlin stated that the
faculty were "quite influenced"
by the reported strong endi
ment of the proposals by the
dents, and he feels that the Sen
ate vote really "clinched the i
ter" in the minds of some uj
cided members of the faculty.

Some of the specific points of
disagreement and contention arose
over the two year foreign language
requirement. Some students feel
that it is unfair to someone not
proficient in the study of a foreign
language to have to take four
semesters of the course.

Haacke Cites Plan
For Housing Code

by Mark Schulman
Establishment of minimum
health and housing codes — the
first step in the elimination of sub-
standard housing in Chcstertown
— is pending completion of a
Comprehensive Plan for land us-
age, at least a year-and-a-half
away, according to Cliesleriown
Mayor C. David Haacke.

Mayor Haacke, speaking before
students, faculty and townspeople
gathered in Hynson Lounge, No-
vember 22, addressed himself to
the problem of substandard

ing in Chcstertown.

Blighted Areas Under Study
Conceding that Chcstertown has
never made an effort to upgrade
housing and, at present, has no
minimum housing or health codes,
die Mayor said that the Compre-

planners Harland Bartholomew
and i Associates, will determine
which of Chestcrtown's blighted
areas will b^ renewed and which
will be- torn down.

However, Mr. Haacke, in a low-
evaded questions

Twelve Seniors Selected
For 'Who's Who' Honors

Dos Passos' momentous trilogy,
U.S.A., reflects his sharp observa-
tions of the effects that the social
and economic milieu have upon the
individual. In his own words, the
contemporary historian has been
a composer of "a narrative pan-
orama to which I saw no end."

name to those who read "National

expeditions have taken him to Mt.

Faculty, Student Committee
The committee at Washington
College which nominated students
for Who's Who was made up of
both students and faculty mem-
bers, with students predominating,
according to Dean Newlin. The
quota, based on the number of
undergraduates enrolled in the col-
lege was determined by the board
of Who's Who.

The names of the students and
their qualifications were then sent
to the Who's Who organization in
Tuscaloosa, Alabama, which made
the final selection of nominees.
Those chosen were recently notified
by letter.

standard housing. Mr. Haacke cit-
ed the lack of "responsibility and
morality" on the part of occupants
and owners of such dwellings.
However, the Mayor placed more
emphasis on the responsibility of
the former than that of the latter.
"Repairs Are Futile"

Carefully avoiding the use of the
terms "slum" or "slum landlord,"
Mayor Haacke said, "It is futile
for the owners of these prepcrtics
to repair them. The repairs would
just be torn up by the tenants."

"Even if the properties were im-
proved, increased rents would re-
sult," he continued. "In some in-
stances, tenants have expressed
satisfaction with existing conditions
rather than face increasing costs.
Because of the low rents currently
charged) many [teoplc beg to live
in these houses."

Lack Of Civic Action

Although citing the need to ed-
ucate occupants in the rcsp< n.-.ibili-
ties of caring for properties they
rent, the Mayor said that, at pre-
sent, neither the Chestertown gov-
ernment, itself, nor any private
groups have any such program for

Dolce complains that there were
"too many characters . . . present

states that he had eliminated a

which Dolce complains about.
There were in fact "several judges

have symbolized them all in Ha-

also more than three girls involved
in naming witches in Salem.

Dolce goes on: "The three girls
were cleverly accounted for by hav-

Housing Problem Confronts Town

The Chesapeake Bay country is labelled
ie "land of pleasant living." Yet for
any years, the "pleasant living" has been
strictly reserved "for whites only" as
e main floor seats in its theaters.

On and off, students and townspeople
ive pecked gingerly at this unhappy
oblem in our midst. Most have chosen
■ ignore the problem. Maybe it would

However, as the subject of Mayor
Haacke's talk at Washington College
seems to indicate, the unmentionable can
no longer go unmentioned. Whether one
calls them "slums" or "substandard"
liousies, the appalling indecency of dwell-
ings which appear ready to collapse of

Will Chestertown's housing program im-
prove these conditions? This is question-
Mayor Haacke demonstrates little un-
derstanding of the "life-styles" of poverty.
He repeatedly emphasizes that the lack
of "responsibility and morality" on the
part of slum occupants is the major con-
tributing factor to substandard housing.
When the Mayor says that "some people
want to live only in squalor," he fails to
understand that poverty is a state of
mind, an approach to life ingrained after
years of discrimination in education, job

opportunity, and a hundred other
This "lack of responsibility" can hardly
be blamed on slum occupants. It is, rather,
the fault of the "well meaning," white
Christians of the Chestertown
ity, who, for many years, on their way
to church, have carefully avoided passing
through the town'

Mayor Haacke informs us that once the
Comprehensive Plan for land usage is
completed, Chestertown will see "day-
light" with regard to the housing prob-
lem. However, the Mayor failed to dis-
cuss how "irresponsibility" will suddenly
disappear after the Comprehensive Plan
is issued.

If Chestertown's war on poverty is to
be won, the poor must be converted from
people to whom and for whom things will
be done into people who have dignity and
who will strive to do things for them-
selves.. This is where the Che

plan fails.

A house-to-house, block-to-block effort
is needed to instill a new sense of dignity
into these downtrodden people. Mayor
Haacke's attempt to enlist townspeople
in such a project has, until now, been a
total failure. The students of Washington
College must now show their concern and
undertake the project of developing com-
munity pride and making the substandard
houses livable. We must try to repair the
physical and cultural damage caused by
the years of neglect.

seven meets scheduled by the Athletic Department. This year
two meets have been scheduled as well as several tentative
scrimmages, and representation by a few wrestlers at the coming
Mason-Dixon Conference tournament .

Wrestling is the only sport at this college that matches
competitors who are as close to physical equals as possible.
The weight restrictions guarantee that your opponent will not
weigh more than your weight class permits. Skill therefore is
not a prerequisite. The team needs student candidates to form
a nucleus. Coach PritzlarT might say. "We supply everything
but guts."

Junior Class Wins
'66 Soccer Trophy

Of the intramural sports, soccer

month of November. Although a

a novice of the game, the class
spirit of each of the four teams
added considerably to the success
of the league action.

and footwork improved, the sopho-
more soccer "machine" gained ad-
equate momentum and landed a
position in the finai playoff game.

The opposition for the sopho-
more booters in the final competi-
tion came from the junior class
squad. As season records go, the
junior class had a rather unique
history. They had defeated the
sophomores once, had lost by a
si/able score to the freshmen (2-0
is a sizable score), had risen vic-
toriously from a game with the
senior squad, and finally had re-
tired the freshman team from com-
petition by defeating them 2-U.

On Thursday, November 10, the

sophomore and junior class squads
assumed their positions on the cold
and windswept field. Garbed in
many combinations of colorful
sweatshirts, sweatpants, overalls,
underwear, and the inevitable ac-
cessories to prevent injury, each
man fought for class honor and his
life.

Some professors feel that too
much is spent on less important
features of the college, like expan-
sion of the college, and thus the
library suffers. The result is "quan-
tity" rather than "quality."
Spends 6.7% On Library

Mr. Bailey counters this criti-
cism, saying that Washington Col-
lege spends a greater percentage
of the total college educational
funds for the library than most
colleges our size, including Hood,
Western Maryland, and Gouchcr,
and that this percentage (6.7) is
above the minimum accepted lor
accrcdation in Maryland (which is
5 percent).

Dr. Howard Grumpclt, Assistant
Professor of Psychology retorts that,
"I hope we don't have to compare
ourselves with the other small col-
leges in Maryland." Colleges such
as Amherst and Williams spend a
lesser percentage of their funds on
their libraries. Although this per-

Christmas, 1966

A Christmas tree in Hodson Hal], with tinsel and
decoration, the holly wreaths on the doors, the decora-
tive lights atop William Smith Hall — all these con-
tribute to the spirit of Christmas at Washington Col-
lege.

Yet the Christmas spirit at Washington College has
a more special meaning — a time for concern with hu-
manity. The Women's Residence Association again
sponsored a Christmas project. This year, the coeds
sent Yuletide packages to the Philippines for distri-
bution to rural schoolchildren. The Kappa Alpha
Order adopted nineteen orphans last Saturday after-
noon for a party and dinner.

Let us all resolve that throughout 1967, instead of

Mrs. Mao's Star Rises

Chairman's Wife Assumes New Role

Mrs. Mao-Lin Pao Pact
Marks Power Struggle

by Dr. Thomas S. Ad
Editor's Note; Dr. Thomas S.
An, Assistant Professor of Political
Science, is Director of the Inter-
national Studies Program at Wash-
ington College. Dr. An's most re-
cent article appeared in the No-
vember-December issue of The In-
tercollegiate Review.

In the midst of the "Great Pro-
letarian Cultural Revolution" in
whose name the current purges
have been conducted, Chiang
Ching, better known as Mrs. Mao
Tse-tung, has become an important
political figure. She became Mr.
Mao's wife in 1939 and most of
her life between then and now has
been in seclusion. Chairman Mao
lias never permitted publicity about
his home life, and Chiang Ching
appeared very rarely at public
functions in Communist China in
the past. Now, she has suddenly
emerged from 26 years of obscur-
ity, and appeared at her husband's

side

Chiang Ching now wields enor-
mous influence in her country as
first deputy leader of the Party's
Central Committee's group charg-
ed with the task of eliminating
"foreign, bourgeois and revisionist
elements" from Chinese society.
(The chairman of this group is
Chen Po-ta, her husband's former
private secretary and ghost writer.

Mao's fourth wife. Mao's first mar-

and behavior while trying to force
him to be a farmer. Mao was close
to his mother who tried to make
a good Buddhist of him.) Mao was
only 14 (Mao was born on Decem-
ber 26, 1893), the girl 20. He
did not love his first wife and the
couple were unhappy. They were
childless. He later walked out on
his first wife and obtained a di-
vorce to marry his second wife, a
university professor's daughter.

Mao Loses Three Children
Shortly after the death of his
second wife, Mao met a 20-year-
old leftist coed named Ho Tzc-
cheng at Changs ha College. They
wero married in 1930 and Mao's
third wife adored him immensely.
Reliable sources agree that she
bore Mao five children. She ac-
companied her husband on the
legendary "Long March" in 1934-
35 from South China to the cave
city at Yenan in North-east China,
One Nationalist bombing raid
during the march left her with 20

Chairman
his fourth, was bom in Tsinan,
Shangtung Province, of middle-
class parents. Her original name
killed in was Li Ching-yun. She was a gl am-
is movie actress under the

Chinese Communist revolution.
Chiang Ching was not particularly
intelligent, but was active in leftist
intellectual and art circles in
Shanghai. She had formerly mar-
ried a leftist newspaper editor nam-
ed Huang Ching. After the Sino-
Japancse War started and the sub-
sequent occupation by Japanese
troops in Shanghai in 1938, she
decided to abandon her unsuccess-
ful acting career and join the Yen-
an theatrical movement to enter-
tain Chinese Communist guerrillas.
Mao Tse-tung soon became her
most ardent fan in Yenan (Chinese
Communist wartime headquarters).
She divorced her first husband a
year before marrying Mao in 1939.
Chiang Ching is believed to have
given Mao two daughters.

Lin Piao — Mrs. Mao Pact
Needless to say, Chiang Ching's
sudden emergence from previous
total obscurity is a political fact
of profound significance. Signifi-
cantly, her emergence as a leading
political personage has been pre-
ceded by the ascendancy to the
pinnacles of power of Defense Min-
ister Lin Piao. There is good rea-
son to suspect that Mrs. Mao Tse-
tung may have made a secret pact
with Marshall Lin Piao to perpet-
uate the Maoist brand of commu-
nism in China after her husband
passes away. This pact is further
j'oincd by Chen Po-ta, Mao's most
trusted personal

Kang Shen, a former s
man and one of the major spokes-
men for Maoism in the Sino-Soviet
conflict. After Chairman Mao's
death, his widow will undoubtedly
become a considerable political as-
set and serve as a useful symbol
for Defense Minister Lin Piao in
his drive to consolidate power in

have been special grants such as
the $10,000 supplementary gift
from the Kellogg Foundation grant
(which is divided among all de-
partments) and the proceeds from
the annual Parents Association
Drive. The total spent for books
during the 1965-1966 academic
year was $18,805. Mr. Bailey said,
"This year there was an appreci-
able increase in the library book
funds in ail departments."

Electronic Dialing System
Dr. Grumpelt says he is "very
concerned that there will be
enough funds in the future for
communications systems between
other libraties in which a student
might have access to journals in
other libraries through an electron-
ic dialing system. While this would

that students could ask for books
from other libraries and these
books would be sent to them with-

Cost Of Journals Cited

Many students who are asked to
do original research papers (es-
pecially in the sciences) find that
they have to go to Baltimore or
Washington libraries f^r up-to-
date journals. Mr. Bailey remarked
that "we are adding as many jour-
nals as we ■ can; this year we have
thirty-seven new journals. When
you add journals you should also
add a backfile. The journals and
backfiles can be extremely expen-
sive. One periodical costs $48(1 a
year.

What about the quality of the
books? The faculty and the librar-
ian choose the books for the li-
brary. Mr. Bailey said, "The funds

Since 1957, the library accumu-

growing. He also says that since
the four-course plan was initiated
and the expansion of fields of
music and art, the library has been
growing along with the curricu-
lum. He says that "We are exper-
iencing growing pains which are

Roll Of Housemother Investigated

pense of the Women's Residence

i meeting of women's
proctors and the sub-council of the Women's Resi-
dence Association. The meeting was called by Dean
of Women Mary J. Caton after considerable con-
troversy over this issue erupted at a meeting of the
Student Government Association.
Charges Restated
The initial accusations were made December 12 by
Senator Steven Amick.. •Amick was colled to Mon-

t of the charges made

before the SGA and to answer questions from the
women's representatives and the Dean of Women.

Besides listing specific grievances, such as proctors
in one freshman dormitory not being permitted
upper-class hours, or compulsory door decorations
during Christmas, Steve told the group:

"The problem is really one of attitude rather than
of individual and trivial incidents."
Not In Constitution

He continued by stating that some housemothers
"conceive their jobs as-bcinl* primarily disciplinary in
nature. However, in neither the published College
rules, nor in the WRA Constitution, -are any discipli-
nary duties allotted to housemothers."

The WRA is given full responsibility for making

nxi enfon

Heated Dis

A heated discussion followed Steve's presentation
and subsequent departure, according to informed
sources. Additional complaints lodged against some
housemothers included: 1) punishment too excessive
for the crime committed; 2) kitchens being locked
.it night; 3) residents of Caroline House not being
permitted use of Queen Anne's House television, aJ-
lli<m<,']i the Caroline television did not work.

The meeting was adjourned with a resolution to
earn- on further discussion of these problems, with
the intention of submitting a series of written sugges-
tions to the Student A Hairs Committee.

Role Questioned

We sometimes became lulled by the status quo.
We tend not to notice or to think about events, or the
direction they are taking, until we are prodded to
think about them.

Such a prodding took place at the December 12
meeting of the Student Government Association. Sena-
tor Steve Amick accused housemothers of having "the
wrong attitude" and of assuming too much discipli-
nary responsibility.

A meeting of women's proctors and a sub-com-
mittee of the Women's Residence Association, called
by Dean of Women Mary J. Caton, to discuss the issue,
resolved to carry on further discussion of these prob-
lems.

The Elm looks favorably upon the spirit of coop-
eration displayed by Dean Caton, and we intend to
prepare a special report on the issue for publication in
our next Elm.

Myers From
Center Court

By G. Myers

Since the topic I had originally planned to write about was
not greeted with intense enthusiasm by this newspaper's sports
staff, I have been forced to exchange my basketball togs for the
robes of a fortune teller. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, and Wash-
ington College sports fans everywhere, Gary Myers, the great
soothsayer who sees and knows all, is now going to predict scores
for the remainder of the Sho-mcn biiskfihall svason. However,
it is only fair to warn the now very much enthusiastic reader
that these predictions are strictly off the top of my head at 3
o'clock on a Monday morning and with a great amount of optis-
ism intertwined. Yet, I must say that this spirit o. r approaching
success is partially justified by Saturday's victory over a suppos-
edly strong Johns Hopkins team. After this upset I am predict-
ing that the Sho'men will finish the last ten games of the season
with an 8 and 2 record. One must remember, too, that even
though I am giving numerical scores the main point of this hoop
conjecture is merely to pick the victors. Fanally, I am giving you,
the fan, wherever you are hiding, a chance to view the validity
of my predictions. By the time this paper reaches you, the Dick-
inson game will be history and you can easily compare my
prophecy with the actual facts. But enough expte
with the main business of this article.

Four-Way Tie Marks
"A" League Competition

With two weeks of competition
completed, the intramural basket-
ball "A" league has four teams:
the Lambda's, the Kappa Alpha's,
the Theta's and the Phi Sigs, all
tied for first place.

In a come- from- behind victory
early in the week, the KA's defeat-
ed the Lambda Chi's 39-37. Gee
Hibberd was high scorer for the
KA's with 15 points, while John
Mendell chipped in with 9 points
in a losing Lambda cause.

Prior to the defeat at the hands
of the KA's, the Lambda's had
been undefeated in league play,
defeating both the Theta's by a 38-
22 score, and the Nizblats by a
75-30 score. High scorer for the
Lambda's against the Theta's was
John Mendell with 11 points,
while Jim Chalfant led the losers
with 8 points. Mike Kelly led the
Lambda's against the Nizblats with
24 points.

Other "A"

Other "A" league competition
saw the Dropouts lose to the
Theta's, 41-36, and to the Phi
Sigs, 55-42. Gary Bauer was high
scorer in both games, collecting 17
and 16 points respectively. Shoot-
ing 92 per cent in the second half,
the KA's defeated the Phi Sigs
60-45 in, a hard fought contest.
KA, Cam Smith led both teams
with 19 points.

The "B" league standings show
the SIF's and the Raiders in the
lead with identical 3-0 records.

The Sits opened their season by
defeating the Dropouts 33-28. Dan
Mcasell led all scorers with 17
points. In another closely fought
contest, the SWR edged the Phi
Sigs 30-28. Don Zimmet was high
scorer for the SWR with 13 points.
Gil Jody scored 14 points for the
Phi Sigs.

Burns Named New Dean

Governing Board Creates
Vice Presidential Posts

The Board of Visitors and Gov-
ernors of Washington College has
recently announced the appoint-
ment of Dr. Landon C, Bums, Jr.
as the new Dean of the College.

Presently assistant professor of
English at the University of Penn-
sylvania, in Philadelphia, Dr. Burns
was named to the position on Jan-
uary 21 and takes office here on
July 1.

Administrative Experience

Dean Burns received his B.A. in
1951 from Yale University. He
served as a lieutenant in the Unit-
ed State Navy from 1951 to 1954,
and then returned to Yale, earning
his master's degree in 1956 and
his doctorate in 1959. In 1958 he
was appointed as an instructor of
English at the University of Penn-

sylva.

Rep. Morton Urges
Changes In Policy

Congressman Rogers C. B. Mor-
ton called for a "redeal" to shift
Federal spending from military to
domestic programs. Morton spoke
before a Washington College audi-
ence last Thursday afternoon.

Morton's theme was improve-

spending gets a much higher share,
we're going to be in deep trouble."

11 Percent of Federal Budget

The Eastern Shore Representa-
tive told his audience Uiat only a
small slice of the Federal budget
dollar was allocated for improving
the environment. Morton said that
defense took 40 percent, Vietnam
16 percent, fixed costs (debt, vet-
erans) 33 per cent, and all other
constructive Federal programs 11
percent.

"I don't believe that you can
fight crime on dirty streets; I don't
feel that you can fight a negative
situation in housing with a Band-
aid type of program in our great
cities," he remarked.

Defense Department Waste

Morton stated that waste in the
defense department could be elim-

the minimum wage.

After questioned on his voting
behavior, Morton said that he was
against the Administration's pro-
grams because they lacked ade-
quate safeguards. He stated that
he was not against the programs,
per se.

When asked about his opposition
to Washington, D.C. home-rule,
Morton replied that "the nation's
capital belongs to all its citizens,"
He said that Washington should
become a "demonstration city."

He replaces Dr. Robert Kirk-
wood, who resigned his post last
summer to become associati- execu-
tive secretary for the Committee on
Institutions of Higher Education,
the Middle States Association of
Colleges and Secondary Schools.

Since Dr. Kirkwood's departure
last summer Dr. Nicholas Newlin
has been Acting Dean of the Col-
lege, a function which he perform-

arrival of Dean Kirkwood.

Lift Depressing

Astonishment and disbelief describe the Elm's
"Fine Arts' Folly"— a $40,000 hydraulic lift to be installed in
ihe Fine Arts Center. Although the new lift only rises about
ten feet (that means it cost $4,000 a foot), it must be regarded
.is the height of frivolity, if nothing else.

The lift, to be used for theatrical effects and for an orches-
tra .ii (we do not know where Ihe orchestra is, either), comes
at a lime when Washington College is desperately searching
tor money to beef up its library, faculty salaries, and scholarship
funds.

Plenty!

teaches us that, before expendi-

made, priorities must be determined. What can be

with $111,000, other than buying a hydraulic platform?

700

For one, the College library could buy 600
hooks. Or, eacli member of tne faculty could be given a bonus
of nearly $1000. Or, the College could have been well on its
way to endowing a faculty chair. Or, forty students could have
been given $1000 scholarships. Or. we could have endowed
s scholarships. Etc.. Etc., Etc.

If tile College really does feel the urge to throw away $40,-
000 as purchase of the lift seems to indicate, it could have, at
least, thrown the money back at the students — $66 a head.

File lift is ili'liiiih'lv depressing.

New Drug Policy

The College Administration has recently instituted a rule
on narcotics that will make it illegal for any student to possess,
use, sell, or to be in control of "narcotic, psychedelic, or dan-
gerous drugs."

Further, the College will "remain cognizant of its responsi-
bility to the legal authorities in these matters."

The language of the new rule is crystal clear. It leaves
room for erroneous interpretation by the student body.

Many things could validly have

emphasis on dispair. Didi could
have been less stylized, Gogo gross-

functioning machine. But Mr, Mil-

sense that suited the play. For if
the pathos was often indirect, it
was always there — in the poig-
nance underlying each perform-
ance, in the change of pace toward
the end of each act, and in the
setting.

Mr. Lamond's performance was
especially touching. It drew ex-
pressively on tradition, especially
what the clown has come to sug-
gest in terms of life in our cen-
tury. One was aware of Chaplin
and Marceau, of Roualt and Pi-
casso. This was appropriate both

Since it is Sunday night again and again I have forgotten
my deadline, this week's article will merely be a roundup of
several news items concerning the Sho'n.en basketball team
which may not have reached the eyes of our numerous fans.
So, here they are:

1. It was announced last night by the Los Angeles Lakers that
the Sho'men have made a trade with the Lakers. . . . Los
Angeles will send Elgin Baylor, Jerry West, and another un-
named player to Ghestertown in return for Marty Smith. . . .
However, Smith has announced his intention to retire instead
of playing outside of Russell I'icklhouse. The NCAA will rule
on the trade next week.

2. In the off-season George Buckless acts as sales representa-
tive for the Charley Atlas Bodybuilding Method. ... So far
George has earned more than $3,000. ... He poses for the
"before" photos in the ads.

3. Frank Marion was recently named by President Johnson
as American Attache to the State of Nicaquarca, specializing
in soul sounds and bougaloo. The nomination came after his
exhibition of savoir-faire at a recent embassy ball. . . . Simul-
taneously he was awarded "Rookie of the Year" for not know-
ing what savoir-faire means.

4. Ron Regan was named to the All-Arnericar
Eat Too Much for a Living" team.

5. Dave Bruce has announced his engagement
old girl. . . . His only comment was that he wa:
the footsteps of his idol Jerry Lee Lewis.

6. Larry Sterling has just resigned his job as understudy for
James's Brown's Flames. ... He will now sing lead for the
British Quarter.

7. In a recent vote by Sho'men players, Steve Clagett was
named "Person That You Most Like To Pass To Because You
Are Assured of A Return Pass."

8. Tom Provinale was recently given Sport Magazine's Cor-
vette as Athlete of the Year." . . . This makes an even dozen
in the family.

9. After a recent Washington College Game, Hugh Hefner has
announced that the Washington College Cheerleaders will all
serve as center foldouls in forthcoming Playboy Magazine.

10. And finally True Confessions Magazine has voted unani-
mously to give Coach Ed Elliot the Match Maker of the
Year Award.

SPORTS

By Jim McOrath

Last week ihe Men's Residence Association was presented
with a request for funds to purchase an outdoor basketball
backboard. The basket is to be constructed on the Somerset
parking lot. However, the proposal was tabled, pending an
inquiry of student interest. We feel that such a purchase
would be in the best interest of the men.

The MRA questioned the need for an outdoor basket,
feeling a possible lack of student support. This fall the men's
gymnasium was opened evenings for student use. Participation
warranted continuous use throughout the winter, with as many
as fifty men using the gym nightly. The basketball intramural
program has a weekly participation of about one hundred
twenty men, while twenty play varsity and j.v. ball, Coach
Athey feels that if "twenty or twenty-five men use the basket
regularly," its purchase will be warranted. There seems to
be little doubt concerning student interest.

At this time the athletic association cannot afford the full
purchase price. As the basket would be used primarily by the

Owing to the cultural lag, "our

World War II to explain a quite

American political thought for over
fifty-seven years.

Rebutting Kazin, Kroll defended
the validity of recent experiments
in the visual arts. During the last
decade, Kroll said, the artist has
been trying to occupy the gap be-
tween art and life, to make the
pattern of human behavior into the
aesthetic search itself. The experi-
ments of Warhol and others can
thus be seen as attempts to erase
distinctions between art and ex-
ternal reality.

College Formulates Policy
On Campus Drug Question

By Thomas Lacher
Dean of Men Carl Westerdahl
announced on January 26 the Col-
lege's official policy on narcotics
at a special student meeting in
William Smith Auditorium.

The addition to the College
Handbook will read: "Any Wash-
ington College student found in
the possession of, using, selling, or
in control of narcotic, psychedelic,
or dangerous drugs will subject
himself to immediate dismissal from
the college. In addition the col-
lege will remain cogni?ant of its
responsibility to the legal authori-

Dean Westerdahl stated iliat the
"growing number of narcotics vio-
lations in campuses across the coun-
try precipitated the new rule."

He emphasized that the College
favors open discussion on the nar-
cotics issue and that it welcomes
open forums between students and

administrative officers. The Dean
of Men also remarked that the
College's position is not final and
static, but remains receptive to re-
sponsible constructive change.

The new narcotics rule was form-
ulated after much investigation and
inquiry into the problem. Dean
Westerdahl stated that eight fac-
ulty members, President Gibson,
Dean Newlin, Dr. Groehler, ten to
fifteen students, Preston Heck, the

colleges were consulted.

At the same meeting, Dean
Westerdahl announced additional

parking regulations for second se-
mester. Freshmen with grades of
"all C's or better" will be allowed
to have cars. Twenty-four out of
a possible 176 freshmen qualify for
the new automobile regulation. The
new parking rules include:

5. Students are reminded that
all parking on Campus Lane is
illegal. If this rule continues to be
abused the college will be forced
to close the lane to traffic.

The coffee machine in Somerset
was removed "for unclear reasons"
according to Dean Westerdahl, but
he added "the machine probably
wasn't making enough money to
justify its existence."

The meeting closed on an opti-
mistic note when the Dean said

SGA Readying Course Evaluations

Student evaluation of professors and their
courses, a principle issue in last year's "White Paper,"
may soon become reality, according to Cliff Hankey.
president of the Student Government Association.

"The purpose of the evaluation," he explained,
"is to help both students and professors. Instead of
relying on campus gossip, students will have a com-
plete reference of other students' opinions on pro-
fessors and their courses.

Stimulate Discussion

"But even more important," he continued, "we
hope that the criticism, and praise, of students will
stimulate self-evaluation and discussion among facul-
ty members on the best teaching methods for their

consisting of Senate's Executive

Committee members and several interested students
will decide the form of the evaluation and the areas
the question will cover. After a tentative question-
naire is set up, the committee will enlist professional
assistance in framing the questions and tabulating
the results. The purpose is to give as accurate picture
as possible of student opinion.

Opposition to Publication
Cliff explained that several people fear that,
because the evaluations could be unfair, and per-
haps damaging, to professors, they should not be
published. Instead, critics feel they should be used
only by the faculty for self-evaluation. "After talk-
ing to faculty members, students, and administra-
tors," he stated, "we decided that the evaluations
are as important lo students as to professors, and so

should be published for general use.

"The problems of biased students and unfair
evaluations can be eliminated to a great extent by the
way in which the questions are asked," lie contin-
ued. He emphasized that no value judgments will
be drawn from the evaluations.

Numerical Rating

The interpretation of the results will be left to
I he individual. Basically, it will be a tabulation of a
numerical rating which will reflect student opinion
about the professor and the course.

The Senate will hold an explanatory assembly
when the evaluation questionnaire is finished. After
students have had an opportunity to discuss the
program with their representative. Senate will vote
on the proposal.

Recently the Student Government Association has
taken action in two important areas— judiciary system
reform and course evaluation. Both proposals should
benefit the students of Washington College. The judi-
ciary reform, in the words of SGA Vice-President Dick
Jackson, would "clarify and streamline" the existing
Judiciary Board, while course evaluations would en-
able the student to objectively evaluate each course
he takes, instead of relying on rumor and gossip.

A great deal of confusion exists today in the Col-
lege's judiciary system. "Due process" of an accused
student is not always followed, as was shown in last
spring's infamous off-campus case. As a result, injus-
tices have occured, not necessarily because of admin-
istration malintent, but because of a faulty judiciary
structure. A new structure, composed of five students,
four teachers, and the non-voting Dean of the College
and Vice-President of the SGA should modernize the
Judiciary Board, and at the same time take the pressure
off the administration for unpopular decisions since
under the proposal students and faculty would make
up the "jury."

Course evaluations will allow the student body to
express their opinions on courses and professors. As' a
consequence of the evaluations, professors may be
forced to reassess their teaching methods, the end result
being improved quality of instruction at Washington
College. The Elm cautions the SGA that the evalua-
tion forms should be constructive in nature and should
not intend to demoralize any professor. Since this pro-
posal is still in the early stages, there is time to make
certain that the evaluations are as constructive and
meaningful as possible. The Elm supports both SGA
actions and believes both will be substantial improve-
ments to the College. T.G.L.

Lecture Series

A recent gathering of Washington College stu-
dent leaders was asked to pinpoint the most intellectu-
ally stimulating aspect of extracurricular campus life.
All agreed that it is the lecture series.

Certainly, most of the notable lectures this semes-
ter have been in the Louttit-Gcorge Lecture Series.
This series was established by Mrs. Harry Clark Bodcn
IV in memory of James Lout tit; Jr., Sidney George
Jr. and Joshua George III. of Mt .Harmon Plantation,
Cecil County, Maryland, who, in 1782, contributed to
the original endowment funds of Washington College.
Included in this lecture series have been the Rev. Mal-
colm Boyd, John Dos Passos, Carl Bode, and Daniel
Callahan, Associate Editor of Commonweal, who will
speak on Tuesday, April 11.

The students of Washington College are greatly
indebted to Mrs. Bodcn, who has contributed so much
to the intellectual life of Washington College.

The second half was as closely
contested as the first, but the Sho*-
men couldn't overtake Swarthmore
and lost, 77-69. High scorer for
Washington College was Frank
Marion with 21 points.

Last Thursday night Washington
College hosted Lebanon Valley.
Displaying a balanced scoring at-
tack blended with fine teamwork,
the Sho'men came out of the con-
test with a 77-68 victory.

The game was a see-saw affair
until the final minutes of the first
half when the Sho'men took the
lead which they never relinquished.
With the score tied, Larry Sterling
and Dave Martin scored successive
baskets to give the team a 39-35
lead at the half.

Continuing to display a balanced
attack, the Sho'men increased their
lead in the second half and rode
home to victory. For Washington
College, five players scored in
double figures. They were Marion,
Tom Polvinale, Marty Smith,
Sterling, and Martin. Polvinale
was the high scorer with 20.

Coach Elliott was especially
pleased by the lift that sophomore
Sterling gave to the team when he
came off the bench to score 14
points in the Sho'men victory.

The final game of last week was
played by a visiting Sho'men team
against a powerful Hampden-Syd-
ney quintet. The Hampden-Sydney
team, one of the strongest on the
Washington College schedule this
year ran away from the Sho-men
to win 123-91. In the victory
Hampden-Sydney shot a phenom-
enal 57 percent from the floor.

For Washington College once
again there were five players in
double figures. The leading scorer
for the Sho'men were Gary Myers
and Smith with 16 points apiece.

This Saturday the Loyola Col-
lege Greyhounds visit Washington
College. In an earlier meeting this
year, the Sho'men were defeated
by the Greyhounds.

A five-way tie for first place in

while the Doo Birds, Phi Sigs and
SIF each collected wins. All five

In the A league the Lambdas
and KA's kept up their winning
ways, defeating the Thetas and Phi
Sigs, respectively. Only the outside
shooting of Mike Kelly and Harry
Webb saved a 35-30 victory for the
Lambda five, as the Thetas com-
pletely dominated the backboards
throughout the contest.

Their 25 points combined were
just enough to best the 2-1-2 Thcta

Sports Editorial

Schedule Defended

In an editorial on November 30, 1966, the Chester River
Press called for a reassessment of Washington College's basket-
ball schedule. The Press pointed out that Washington College
has won only nine out of thirty-five encounters in the past two
seasons. Twenty-one of those thirty-five encounters were against
Mason Dixon foes, with Washington College winning only four
of these contests. With these figures in mind the Press went on
to advocate that Washington College drop such Mason-Dixon
foes as Mt. St. Mary's, Catholic U., Randolph-Macon, and
Harnpden-Sidney.

Well, things aren't quite as simple as the Press seems to
indicate. First of all, Washington College plays these Mason-
Dixon teams in all sports, not just basketball. If we drop Mt.
St. Mary's in basketball, what's to prevent Mt. St. Mary's from
dropping us in soccer. Soccer is a sport in which the two teams
compete on a fairly even basis.

Secondly, most of the teams that we compete with in the
Baltimore area are in the Mason-Dixon Conference. These
include Towson, Mt. St. Mary's, Loyola, and Catholic U. If
we drop these teams from our schedule, we would lose much of
our newspaper sports coverage in the Baltimore area. At present,
this is a valuable part of Washington College's public relations

Third, the Washington College athletic department, like
any other athletic department, competes in a sport with the
idea of winning the league championship.

To qualify for either the Mason-Dixon or the Middle
Atlantic championships, Washington College must play six to
eight different opponents in each league. If we try to schedule
the easiest teams in both leagues in a particular sport such as
basketball, the team would not qualify for either championship,
in addition to endangering our status with certain teams in
other sports.

While we are on the subject of basketball, one hopeful note
should be injected into the discussion. This year's basketball
team has only one senior and no juniors on the squad. Also, there
are two transfer students who are expected to be a big help to
the team next year. With this kind of depth returning, Washing-
ton College could be ready to knock off some of those teams
which consistently "outclass" us.

NSA Issue Re-opens

By Mark A. Schulman

Despite the U.S. National Student Association's con-
firmation, last Tuesday, of clandestine financial ties with
the Central Intelligence Agency, the Student Government
Association will probably maintain its affiliation with NSA.

This was indicated by an informal Elm survey Tues-
day, of SGA Senators. The NSA topic was not discussed
at length during Monday's SGA meeting.
Issue To Re-open

However, the survey also indicated that some long-
time opponents of SGA membership in NSA are planning
to use the NSA-CIA disclosure to re-open the member-
ship issue, last debated two years ago.

SGA President Cliff Hankey, a cautious supporter
of NSA affiliation, commented that, "while the current

affair is abominable, we have never had any complaints
against the services offered by the Association."
NSA Consulted

"NSA has been useful on a number of occasions,"
he continued. Hankey noted that the student organiza-
tion was consulted in connection with SGA studies of
campus social problems, judiciary change, student travel
abroad, and student discount cards.

"It also serves as a clearinghouse which channels in-
formation to and from various schools," he said.
Hankey For Continuing

Hankey said he would be in favor of continuing
SGA's affiliation with NSA "unless it can be proven that
the CIA substantially influenced the policies of the organ-
ization or that more than a few top NSA leaders were
aware of CIA infiltration."

Meanwhile, SGA Senators David Cohn and Joseph

Coale announced their intention to oppose renewal of NSA

membership. Both were aligned with anti-NSA forces

two years ago, when SGA last appraised its affiliation.

Reflection of Student Opinion

"I think the NSA is a Communist front," said Cohn,
a former NSA coordinator for the SGA.

Washington Traditions

This week end's activities will pay homage to perhaps the
greatest of our nation's founders, on the 236th anniversary of
his birth. Although numerous towns, schools, streets, and the
like are named after George Washington, this College is unique
in its close personal connection with our first President.

As Washington's Birthday approaches, we thought a few
facts, both well-known and obscure, would lie of interest about
the College's namesake.

George Washington personally gave his name to the Col-
lege, contributed toward its support, and served on the infant
College's Board of Visitors and Governors. The oldest chartered
college in Maryland and the tenth in the country, Washington
College is the only college to have received its name by personal

The first two monuments erected to the memory of Wash-
ington are located in Maryland. In Boonsboro, near Hagers-
town, a crude stone monument was constructed by the towns-
people in only one day. The first officially dedicated statue to
Washington was built in Baltimore and is situated at Mount
Vernon Place.

One little-known fact about our founder is a discrepancy
about his actual birth date. Today we celebrate Washington's
birthday on February 22. However, Washington was born on
February 11, 1731. The confusion stems from the
of the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar, which
red in 1752. This resulted in a 282-day legal year in 1751 and
consequently, Washington did not have a birthday at all that
year {Julian calendar). Finally, young George turned 21 on

practice in swordsmanship for ac-

development of lighter and more
manageable weapons, fencing is
considered one of the safest and

Coordination, balance, agility

Equipment

The equipment used in fencing
consists of the foil and various
protective garments for the fencer
including a chest-protective device
called a plastron and a helmet to
protect the face. The foil itself
weighs approximately fourteen
ounces and has an approximate
overall measurement of 42 inches.

The blade is rectangular in cross-
section and tapers to a theoretical
point. The foil is strictly a thrust-
ing weapon. The objective is to
score touches or theoretical punc-
ture-type wounds with the point of
the blade.

At present, there are fourteen
men mastering the fundamentals of
the sport under the direction of
captains Steve Miller and Bill

Heritage Program Shy $4 Million

The construction of a new men's dormitory, a new li-
brary, and expanded athletic facilities will constitute the
major projects in the third phase of Washington College's
Heritage Program, Captain Frank W. Hynson, Assistant
to the President, reports.

First on the agenda for the building program is a men's
dormitory, which will be located on the present site of
Barnett and Smith Houses. The dormitory is scheduled
fur occupancy by the fall of 1968.

Expanded Athletic Facilities

To expand the present athletic facilities, a new women's
gymnasium, costing an estimated $500,000, will be built
adjacent to Russell Gymnasium. A swimming pool, attached
to both men's and women's Kyiiiiiasiums, is also planned
in this project.

When the women's gymnasium is completed, a new
library, designed to house twice the number of books in
Bunting Library, will then be built on the present site of
Cain Gymnasium. The estimated cost of this Structure is

$1.1

.ill be

"Since the Arts Center is the only one of its type in
the area, it will be an important element in enriching the
academic program," Hynson commented. "Town-gown re-
lations have been good, and improving, for many years,
and we are also looking to the Arts Center to significantly
further this valuable relationship."

Additional Land Acquired

In planning for future expansion of the College, ap-
proximately li 1 acres contiguous to the existing campus
have been purchased, hrinning the total area of the campus
to more than 91) acres, A portion of this land has already
been developed with new outdoor athletic facilities and

"But the first order of importance in the Heritage
Program is the students themselves," Hynson stated. The
College has grown to a size of over COO, with an enrollment

Since its initiation in 1962 by the Board of Visitors and
Governors, the Heritage Program's original goal of 9.5
million has been revised to the present goal of $12 million
by 1970. Toward this figure, the College has raised in
excess of $8 million to date.

Drama Major

The question of whether or not to establish a drama major
will soon be decided by the faculty. On first hearing, one might
be tempted to favor creation of such a major. After all, it
would seem that the greater the diversity in courses offered, the
iiiln>, air tin' iilination.il opportunities for students.

However, this may not be the case. With the excreation of
a drama major, Washington College may be spreading itself
too thin. Nine of our sixteen major departments this year have
two or less full time faculty members. In an era of increasing
specialization, many professors, because of our understaffed
departments, find themselves over-burdened by constantly hav-
ing to teach courses not directly related to their own specializ-
ed interests. In some cases, important areas of study within
existing departments are not even touched.

For this reason, the Klin believes that, while it will be
desirable to have a drama major in the future, we can ill afford
to spread ourselves too thin now.

"NSA has always said that iheii
ons reflect the opinion
ity cr its members," he
continued. "The question now is
how much of its policy was deter-
mined by students and how much
was a result of ClA pressure."

Students Not Represented

Several Senators felt that SGA
should cancel its membership in
NSA, not only because of the CIA
involvement, but also because ser-
vices provided by the national "ren-
nization could be obtained else-
where. Many also felt that NSA's
policies are not representative of
the opinions of Washington College
students.

Hankey pointed out that "our re-
lationship with NSA in the past has
been due partly to our lack of
initiative. As members we have
the responsibility, as well as the
right, to participate as much as

Waiting For WRA

In the beginning of January, SGA Senator Steven
Amick accused housemothers of assuming too much
disciplinary responsibility at the expense of the Wom-
en's Residence Association. A general discussion of
the situation resulted in a request that the WRA study
the problem and issue a report defining the inter-
related roles of proctor. Women's Residence Associa-
tion, housemother, and student.

The SGA and the Student Affairs Committee
have been waiting two months for this report, and
there is still not the slightest indication that the WRA
is taking any action.

Meanwhile, housemothers must continue their
uniquely unpleasant task of police work, and dormi-
tory government must continue to exist in a semi-
anarchistic state.

WRA inaction through the years is largely to
blame for the current state of disorder. The associa-
tion must now either disentangle and clarify the pow-
er relationships or else acknowledge that it is reneg-
ing. The issue must not be allowed to drag on infinite-
ly-

Symptoms, Not Cause

President Johnson called Monday for a reorgani-
zation of the military draft system. There are some
features of the present system that are in definite
need of overhaul. However, one must wonder wheth-
er the President is concerned more with the symptoms
rather than the cause — overextension of American
power — in at least two respects.

First, many of the present draft inequalities are
the result of economic and social environment. As
long as America remains committed to its present
course in world affairs, it will not be able to meet its
obligation to its own people. We are presently aggra-
vating the situation.

Second, 300,000 American troops are still basking
in tranquil Europe at a time of severe troop shortage.

Even if there are short-run rewards to be derived
from our present foreign policies, one must question
whether they are commensurate with the sacrifice.

Noted political commentator Eric Scvercid sug-
gests that "America's reach may be longer than its
grasp." This appears to be true.

Senator I. William Fulbright addresses

Fulbright. It "tends also to take itself for
omnipotence." In its attempt to "spread the
gospel of democracy," he suggests, the U.S.
stands in danger of Overcxtending itself.
Central to America's messianic urge is "a
national mythology cultivated in Fourth of
July speeches and slick publications, which
holds that we are a revolutionary society,
that ours was the 'true' revolution which
ought lo be an inspiration for every rcvo- I
lutionary movement on earth.

Quite the contrary is true, Fulbright
astutely observes. America is actually an
"unrayolutidfiary society.!' It totally fails
to show "empathy for' the great revolutions

Concentrate on Nationalism

The U.S. should forget about being

"God's avenging angels" in the fight against

Communism, he urges. We should, instead

concentrate on backing nationalism.

The Arkansas Senator also offers a hardy
defense of the right to protest a war. In
fact, he writes, "the protesters against the
Vietnam war are in good historical com-
pany." Abe Lincoln, in 1848, rose in the
House of Representatives and made a speech
:ing the Mexican War worthy of Sen-

Mors.

F.C.A. Supporters Respond

To the Editor:

In regard to Dr. Tapkc's letter
concerning the formation of a Fel-
low-ship of Christian Athletes on
campus, we of the F.C.A. felt
prompted to clear up two partic-
ular points which seem to have
been clearly misinterpreted or mis-
understood.

First it should be noted that al-
though the F.C.A. does maintain
certain prerequisites for its mem-
bership (which are adherence to
Christian beliefs, and participation
in high school or college athletics
on a Varsity level), wc have cn-

i ourac" d anyone (Christian or non-
Christian, athletically or non-ath-
Ictieally inclined), wishing to at-
tend and participate in our meet-
ings, to do so. Conseqently, any-
thing "secret" and "initiatory"
within the organization can be
claimed or implied only by those
who haven't felt compelled to in-
quire into the philosophy and aims
of the group.

As well, the Fellowship was
formed on a voluntary basis by cer-
tain students who, being interested
in athletics and having firm be-
liefs in Christianity, joined togeth-

Other returning veterans are
John Merrill, BUI Manning, Bob

Other prospects who might see ac-

The outlook for this year's team

Rules of Soccer Enforced

The game is played in Russell
Gym and this is truer than it
might sound. The playing area is
the total inside area of the gym ;
everything is in bounds: walls, raft-
ers, doors, basketball liai . kboards.
etc. While Socrosse is rough, being
played into walls and such, the
rules of soccer are strictly enforced
by player coach Athey.

The game itself is played in 3
periods like hockey, but for 10

goalie, two defensemen, and three
offensemen on the line.
Five Point Shot

Scoring is done by putting the
ball, a volleyball for a soft touch
and player safety, in either of the
two basketball foul circles, this
counts as one point. In the foul
circle there is a basketball placed
on an inverted paper cup. If this
is knocked off by a shot, five points
are tallied, a very difficult play.

Spring Cleaning

With the advent of the first gentle spring breezes on campus,
many visible and natural transformations are ushered in. Spring
is die season of rebirth, change, and rcvitalization, and it is in
diis spirit of rejuvenation that the 1966-67 ELM Editorial Board
passes on its responsibilities to die newly-elected staff.

The outgoing staff wishes to drank everyone who contributed
to the ELM's publication during the past year. The Board of
Publications, especially its Chairman, Dr. Peter Tapke, and Mr.
Charles Cockey served as invaluable sources of information,
guidance, and inspiration for the paper. The Queen Anne's
Publishing Company deserves special mention for their patient
understanding of the sometimes apparent irrationality of the
staff. Eleventh hour spasms of creativity were not uncommon
this year and it is to our publisher's credit that a newspaper
appeared at all on several occasions. Mr. A. Clayton McGarvey
provided the ELM with transportation to reach the printing
presses in Centreville, often on short notice. The ELM's pho-
tography has improved immeasurably through the last four years
and, to the graduating photographers, we extend our sincere
appreciation for a job well done. Finally, our small dedicated
core of reporters deserves the highest praise, for they represent
the heart of any newspaper staff. They have shown willingness to
search out news and to report it quickly to meet the ever present
deadlines. — The Editorial Board

The Editor

Many of the problems facing the
ed and perhaps perpetuated by res-
is especialy true concerning the wo-
men of the campus and the rules
that govern their lives. In partic-
ular this is seen when the role of
the house mother is questioned.

A great many of the women on
this campus arc resigned to the tra-
ditional police-chape rone role of
the dorm mother. They are resign-
ed, .too, to the helplessness which
they must exhibit in order to con-
tinue comfortably this state of af-
fairs, in order not to disrupt their
daily routine. I feel that this is
often due to a kind of fear — a
fear of power on the one hand and
i>f disturbance on the other.
Unwritten Rules

It is a well-accepted belief on
this campus — ■ at least among die
women — that to transgress one
of the many unwritten rules is to
invite the alienation and wrath of
those who hold a great deal of
power. In doing so, it is believed,
harassment and discomfort within,
and perhaps without, the confines
of the dormitory will result. This
belief has been proven sound in

however, I have attempted to ex-

I have, however, received no en-
couragement, no colleagues in ac-
tion. There has been agreement on
the principles involved, however.

rather to expound upon its phil-
osopy and motives.

The Fellowship of Christian
Athletes is a national organization
founded in 1954 in which the Bal-
timore Chapter has been active
since in 1960. Its foundation was
the result of efforts by Mr. Donald
McClanen, Mr. Branch Rickey and
Dr. Louis H. Evans, Sr., who felt
there was a need to emphasize the
coach's and athlete's responsibility
as Christians in the world today.
Mr, McClanen realized that the
athlete holds a unique position in
our society from which he could
both set an example and spread
Christianity in an age which is
characterized l>v religious apathy.
Confront Athletes'

The primary purpose of the Fel-
lowship of Christian Athletes as a
national group is "to confront ath-
letes and coaches, and through
them the youth of the nation, with
the challenge and adventure of
following Christ in the fellowship
of the Church . . In its fellowship
of bringing together the greats and
unsung heroes of the sports world,
it works to help each other become
better men and better examples of
what God can do with a yielded
life."

We here at Washington College
felt there was a definite need for
such a group. We hope that the
Fellowship can help us fill the void

Publications Board Statements

Next month the Student Government Association will recon-
sider its membership in the National Student Association. In
light of recent disclosures of clandestine financial ties between
NSA and the Central Intelligence Agency, the membership issue
promises to be hotly contested. However, for a number of rea-
sons, the ELM believes that Washington College should main-
tain its affiliation with NSA.

First, if SGA has any complaints about "not getting its money's
worth with NSA," it is, admittedly, SGA's fault. NSA has proved
helpful on a number of occasions. It was consulted in conjunction
with SGA studies <>1 c ampus ^» i.tl problems, course evaluations,
judiciary change, student travel abroad, and student discount
cards. SGA should take more advantage of the services offered
by NSA.

Second, students do need a national voice on policy issues.
NSA has served this function in the past and can continue to do
this in the future. There are some who cry that NSA is "too
leftist" and hence unrepresentative of the majority of students.
These critics are apt to overlook two factors: (1) college stud-
ents, by tradition, are a leftist-oriented group; (2) those who
complain about NSA positions usually never bother to attend
NSA national conferences, where NSA policy is formulated and
its leaders are elected. In recent history, Washington College has
sent no representatives to the national gatherings.

Third, NSA breaks down the isolation of campuses. It serves
as a clearinghouse which channels information to and from
various schools.

The CIA affair was something more than unfortunate. How-
ever, it would be even more unfortunate if NSA collapsed. This
would prove to the CIA that it has life and death power over
organizations it assists or has assisted.

For these reasons the ELM believes that, if NSA can demon-
strate that it has cleansed itself of the CIA, the SGA should
renew its membership in this national organization.

At its meeting on March 1 die Board of
Publications authorized the publication of
die statement printed below, requesting that
it be published by the ELM in the last
issue edited by the outgoing editorial staff.
This somewhat unusual step was taken in
view of what seemed the need to give recog-
nition just now to the especially high edi-
torial calibre of the ELM in the past year.
Since 1963 the ELM has not fallen below
Honors Second Class in the Associated Col-
legiate Press ratings, and in 1965 was one
of two papers in the nation to win All-
American Honors in its class, the highest
award possible. Yet the ACP ratings often
arrive too late to honor the editors in ques-
tion, and the Board wished to do what it
could to commend this year's editors before
their departure.

There is only one gloomy side to the
picture, and that is the large number of
senior editors the ELM is losing this year,
As one of the functions of the Board of
Publications is to assure continuity in the
editorial staff of the ELM, I should like to
point out to any who may be interested the
several slots in the upper ranks of the mast-
head that are being vacated. All upper edi-
torial positions carry stipends; to work in
them can be both personally rewarding and
a service to the life of Washington College.
The Board urges all who may have been
letting their talents as editors or writers go
to waste to get in touch with editor-elect

Dick Heyniann. This is an unusually good
year to join the ELM staff.

The Board of Publications is happy to
make the following statement of commen-
dation :

'The Board of Publications, which seeks
to raise and to maintain high standards in
all the undergraduate publications of Wash-
ington College, wishes to record its satis-
faction in the excellent editorial work of
the ELM editors for 1966-67, and in par-
ticular of Editor-in-Chief Mark Schulman.
"In the past year the standards of layout
and typography achieved by past editors
have been maintained and, in several places,
improved. Feature writing has been gener-
ally more imaginative and sophisticated.
The sports page has looked livelier this year.
By far the most outstanding improvement,
however, has been the invigorated editorial
policy of the ELM. The forceful editorial
writing of the past year, while in the nature
of things it cannot have pleased all die
people all the time, has raised the joural-
isttc excellence of the ELM to a new pitch
and has contributed to the strength of
Washington College as a forum for the free
and uninhibited exchange of ideas.

"In lauding the performance of the past
year we commend the example it affords
future editors of the ELM. Long may all
these good trends continue and grow.'

SPORTS

This year the spring sports program at Washington College
will again have a four-sport program featuring lacrosse, base-
ball, track, and tennis.

In previous years there has been an attempt to organize a
golf team. Their efforts have proved to be futile because of a
lack of interest and support among the student body. Cer-
tainly the idea has been stated before.

It doesn't seem possible that Washington College cannot
produce enough players for this game which is among the most
popular in the United States. Most of the schools that our
teams regularly participate against in both the Middle Atlantic
Conference and the Mason-Dixon Conference, have golf teams.
In fact, there would in the State of Maryland alone be enough
competition to guarantee a schedule for a golf team. Such
schools as Johns Hopkins, Tow-son, Loyola, and Mount Saint
Mary's, to name a few, have fine golf teams.

Last year the Sho'men were, represented by Tom Marshall
and Page Carter in the Mason-Dixon Conference Champion-
ships. Marshall, a three handicap player s was among the early
leaders and finished a creditable eleventh representing Wash-
ington College. Thus, the school received recognition in a
sport that it doesn't field a team in.

There are questions to be raised. One is the need of a
course to practice and play matches on. This can be easily an-
swered by the fact that there are facilities in the area. The
Chestertown Yacht Club and Great Oak Country Club course
in 1 hu»h possibilities. Another problem is that of finding a
coach. However, there are members of the faculty who are
able players and could be approached.

The real question then is in the forming of such a team.
Is there enough interest in Washington College for a team?
Certainly with wrestling becoming a varsity sport, golf could

lie seriously looked into.

The possibility of bettering last

points in the running races but it
will take more men to do it. The

By Dick Louck

Spring comes to Washington College! Or so it seems, since
all the signs are in evidence, even though it is still early March.
Besides the balmy, sunny weather, certain phenomena around
campus indicate strong doses of spring fever.

To many students spring means a blanket and a girl to
spend an afternoon with relaxing on the lawn in front of Bill
Smith Hall. Others escape to Tolchester to catch the sunset,
or the season's first beach party.

Athletically minded students haul out the golf clubs to
practice lobbing five-iron shots from Middle Hall to the roof of
Dunning, while some prefer to borrow some buddy's lacrosse
stick to "have a catch".

Then there are the more carefree signs such as: Weejuns
without socks; water balloons; Theta Chi Wall; top-down-tape-
system-blaring-Impalas; bikes and chicks; outdoor classes; arid

Controversial MacBird
Scheduled By Players

MacBird this seasons most con-
troversial play on Broadway, will
lie presented at Washington Col-
lege this spring. The announce-
ment was made earlier this week
l>y Timothy Maloney, Director of
ihe new Fine Arts building and
chairman of the drama depart-
ment. MacBird will be staged in-
stead of Volpone \vhii-|i had been
scheduled.

Mr. Maloney staled that Wash-
ington College's production of
MacBird will lie "among the first,
if not the first production of the
play as it is now being performed

The play lias received mixed re-
views, with some critics charging
that it is "tasteless". The play
closely parallels the events of the
assassination of President Kennedy,
and the controversy arises over the
action of the other figures in the
play, closely resembling other poli-
tical figures, before and after the

The play has developed from a
fifteen minute skit that was plan-
ned for the October 1965 Inter-
national Days of Protest gather-
ings. The skit never was written,
as Miss Garson was embarked on
a full length play. The first pre-
sentation of MacBird was at the
Village Gate theatre in New York
on January 19. 1967. The style of
the writing is a contemporary
adaptation of Shakespeare langu-
age, with the play itself originally
intended to be a take-off on Mae-
Beth.

Different versions of the Play
have appeared in manuscript, small
printings, leaflets, and extensive
excerpts in Ramparts magazine.
Less than a year from the time the
play was first shown to New York
ihcatieagents, MacBird was fully
capitalized, cast, and in rehearsal.

Try-outs for MacBird will be
held tonight in William Smith Au-
ditorium at seven o'clock in room

The exchange program with the
University of Warwick was start-
ed through the efforts of Dr. Peter

Idea Praised
Bob stated that students general-

in a small school atmosphere this

he commented, "I feel that this

Most students said that the for-

good, but that some questions
should have been more specific

Most of the cridcism concern-

Within a three hour period on November 4, 1966, the
flooding waters of the Arno surged through the streets of Flor-
ence, Italy. The water averaged fifteen feet in depth in the
city, twenty-four feet elsewhere. Thirty-nine thousand square
miles of Central and Northern Italy were under water, and
calculations of the damage to crops, buildings, monuments,
churches, manuscripts, documents, archives and musical instru-
ments defied accurate guess. Florence officials tentatively esti-
mated that water and oil damage and cost of restoration to art
objects alone would reach $160 million.

The experiment is intended to

Twenty-two children attending

which were gradually increased, in
increments of 25 words, to the 325

also proved to be no match for Washinginn College as the Sho'-
men cruised to a 20-6 victory last Wednesday. With the score
11-1 at the half, Coach Kelly substituted almost anyone who
could carry a stick.

But everyone was not happy. Carl Ortman said that if he
had known the score was so lopsided he would have stopped
shooting. Sure, Carl. Also, this writer sends his condolences
to Mark Madden, Ty Wilde and Ford Schuman who were
finally convinced, hesitantly, to shed their long locks by the
very persuasive Mr. PritzlafT.

The big news of this young lacrosse season came last Sat-
urday as the Sho'men dumped an excellent Brown University
team by a 6-4 score. The game was tied many times, but the
Sho'men made their lucky breaks count and stepped into the
lead to stay in the fourth quarter.

Ford Schuman was outstanding in the goal for the Sho'-
men, making several good saves, but showing brilliance especial-
ly in clearing the ball out of the goal area. Strangely, Ford
had once planned to attend Wesleyan University.

Contributing greatly to the victory were defensemen Pete
Betts and Tom Heald. It is surprising to note that while play-
ing against Brown, the defense allowed fewer goals than against
either North Carolina or Wesleyan. Particularly instrumental
in stopping the Brown scoring threat were defensemen Bryan
Griffin and Ty Wilde who effectively played the extra-man de-

"Usually a student taking office

other staff members to try to dis-

these pressures, Cutner reported
that while the C.I.A. funds repre-

Cutner aJso noted that where

"No schools have dropped their

Unbounded Enthusiasm
Such was the position of two
members of the Elm staff plus
friend when Dr. Richard Brown,
Chairman of the Department of
Mathematics at Washington Col-
lege invited them to spend an eve-
ning wilb him in New York. An
enthusiastic opera fan who drives
to New York as many as three
times a week, Dr. Brown enjoys
introducing students to his fav-
orite art and frequently has extra
tickets which he gives to interested
students.

From many years of experience
in winning over dubious students
and knowing full well that at least
one of the party would have pre-
ferred a free ticket to the National
Invitational Tournament, Dr.
Brown set about his task of getting

A repertory group, the New

from a play by Cotdoni, an eigh-

quick, light, colorful comedy, the
opera was an excellent one for
those of us who had never seen
a production before.

A few minutes spent studying a
copy of the libietto or the text of
the play clarified what seemed to
be a complex plot, comprehension
being aided considerably by the
fact that the opera was written
in English. Dr. Brown's explana-

To the Editor:

In the March 9th editorial of
the Elm entitled, "Waiting for
WRA," the editor questioned the

Council feel that unjust implica-
tions were imposed upon us and
feel it incumbent upon us to cor-

Evaluation Rating

__ The Elm rates the evaluation a qualified success, based
on the goals as stated in the introduction to the pamphlet.
Certainly it provides more information about the courses than
the grapevine (but is knowing that a certain course "does not
stimulate . . . interest" yet "has a lasting effect and was ulti-
mately a success" for the students really tell us more than a
twisted grapevine tale could relate?).

The success of the second objective of the evaluation may
never be fully appraised: to "provide the faculty with a sincere
and honest appraisal of their efforts, giving praise where it is
due. and suggestion where it is warranted."

Surely, the evaluation is a candid, honest attempt to de-
scribe the merits and demerits of the teachers and their courses;
yet there is room to criticize the style of the writing, if not the
content itself. It appears that certain of the briefs were writ-
ten hastily, due in part to the tight deadlines the writers faced.
At least one brief was actually written during the class it eval-
uated. But the language was less than subtle in a few cases,
and a resume of critical comments may still be slated clearly
without losing the general opinion of the students, if more
diplomatic terms are used.

The experience gained from this year's evaluation will, no
doubt, be of significant importance in future efforts. Details
relating to the printing, collating, and binding of the evaluation
which were poorly planned this lime, will be far easier on the
next go-round. Perhaps some questions "ill be re-phrased to
ask more nearly what the (-valuators meant lo ask; more time
will be allotted to the writing of the briefs, and to the review-
ing of the briefs by the SGA Evaluation Committee; The
Committee should investigate the charges thai seniors softened
personal criticism of professors because they have to take com-
prehensives from them shortly.

The Elm fervently hopes that the evaluations will indeed
be of value to students and faculty alike; that guidance and
constructive criticism, respectively, may be beneficial; that this
will not become simply the "official" grapevine and a sounding
board for personal gripes at the faculty.

its doors to the College almost two

an outlet for creative student ex-

branching out in all directions at
"The Moss Box."

may involve the presentation of a

tury mentality, Christianity is de-
fective, bungling, and even cor-
rupt," stated Deniel Callahan, As-
sociate Editor of Commonweal and
one of America's leading spokes-
men for reform and liberalization
in the Roman Catholic Church.

Speaking in William Smith Au-
ditorium last Tuesday, Mr. Calla-
han established the image of an
ideal Christian: one who was "un-
yielding, confident, and sure in his
faith" ; one who accepted "the
faith of our fathers"; and one to
whom serious criticisms of the reli-
gion were an indication that the
doubter was "ignorant, immoral, or
had bad faith."

Evades Objections

The ideal Christian "evades
genuine and serious objectii ~ "

churches had critiefsed each other
in the past, refused to consider a
major revision in his beliefs. The
idealist's primary personal goal is
salvation; "Love thy neighbor" is
his guidepost.

Callahan stated that this type of

Christian is "a danger to everyone.
This kind of person is likely to find
that his religious life has turned to
ashes." The difficulty for the
Christian comes, Mr. Callahan
feels, in relating the "security of
his faith" to "contemporary life."

Does the future belong to Chris-
tianity?" It doesn't seem to," he
remarked. "Contemporary man is

and slum clearance," he stated.
"No one seems to listen to religious
spokesmen any longer," he added.

The suppression of the freedom
of the individual by the Church
was commented on by Mr. Calla-
han. He said that the first task of

he really stands, recognizing that
he alone is, in the end, responsible
for his own beliefs. "We must see

'Hello Out There!'

By Donald Dolce _

A dual production by the Dra-
matics Workshop of William Sar-
oyan's Hello Out There was pre-
sented April 7 in William Smith
Auditorium. The play itself des-
cribes a fatal episode in the life
of a jailed gambler — charged
with rape — in the small Texas
town of Matador.

The lonely man has a much
more vivid appreciation of life
than those in the community. He
becomes acquainted with the jan-
itor — a young girl named Emily
— and through this fleeting ac-
quaintance, they become quite at-
■ other. They plan

Setting Symbolic

The play has effective comments
on contemporary society. First, the
setting is symbolic — Matador,
Texas. The matador is a brave
man who enters the bull ring risk-
ing his life for glory. Here, the
citizens of the small community are
shown as cowards.

The husband enters the jail,
knowing beforehand that he will
win. He reacts only because of his
friends' comments if he does not.
He shoots the defenseless gambler
who stands enclosed, trapped like
the coyote he claims to be.
Shallowness

The gambler's plaintive cry of
"Hello out there" — hoping some-
where to find a person who is larg-
er than the narrowmindedness of
Matador's population — is answer-
ed by Emily. Emily is much more
sensitive than the rest and attempts
to save him. Seeing the shallowness
of her surroundings, her wail of

The gambler is the catalyst who
awakens her from the wasted life
she experiences in Matador. He
promises her something better and
gives her money to achieve the
physical transportation to that
place. She also wants to leave the
limitations of the town. Because of
this metamorphosis, she rises above
the rest of the community just as
her dead confidant once did —

claims) his view of life could hard-
ly be ecstatic. Only toward the
end does his relationship with her
seem to reach a state of vitality.
The production lacked this vitali-
zation. April Marshall was superb
as the girl. Despite this, the lack
of communication between her and
the gambler was quite apparent

The Jack Bloom - Pete Herbst
production was definitely the high
point of the duo. While Howdy
DeHoff was the trapped coyote,
pacing restlessly around the jai"

— spirited and
unweary. Ably assisted by Sharon
Strausser, their dialogue and feel-
ing toward one another was
thoroughly genuine.

Deficient, Not Wrong

Kipnes' interpretation can not
be called wrong; it was simply
deficient in the appeal that De-
Hoffs had. One certainly did not
have the feeling of despair toward
Kipnes' weariness as they had to-
ward DeHofTs anxiety, which was
quite apparent.

Student productions as these
should definitely be encouraged.
Each was an honest effort and the
Workshop is to be commended for
their efforts in the dual production.

Undefeated Hopkins

Last Saturday, Johns Hopkins, for the first time since their

good lacrosse team, and possible defeat. Little Washington Col-
lege collected its Strongest weapons and almost defeated the
probable 1967 national champions.

Ihr- three watchwords of the week which paid ofT in the
game wi re: Pride, Poise, and Ball. That is what the Sho'men
used to give Hopkins such a close game. Each player who had a
part in the game displayed those qualities.

Pride was a big factor: being a small school, an obvious
underdog, and the butt of much criticism. The Sho'men were
out to prove that they were as good as they were cracked up to
be, that the wins over die likes of Brown, Harvard and other
big name tens were not just flukes of luck.

Poise, that certain quality of confidence, talent and finesse
was demonstrated perfectly by the two standout players of the
game, Jim Chalfant and Ford Schuman. Schuman, in the
goal, repeatedly stopped the "impossible" shots, the point-
blank bullets that should be sure goals.

He also showed that poise out of the goal, clearing the ball
away from the »oal area and bringing the crowd to its feet
with his exciting play.

Chalfant played perhaps the best game anyone of us on the
team has seen. Jim was always there, "there" being exactly
where he was needed. Poised on both offense and defense, ready
to make just the right play at the right time, Chalfant earned
the respect of every one of the thousands of fans.

Hopkins won the game, but Washington College won a
moral victory. Perhaps this shock was just what Hopkins needs
to get ready for the Navv and Maryland games. At any rate,
when a little "bush league" team from the Eastern Shore nearly
knocks ofT one of the greatest lacrosse titans, people in power
begin to ask why.

Trackmen Triumph;
Journey to Loyola

Washing on College's track team
evened its record Saturday after-
noon by defeating a weak Western
Maryland squad 96 to 49. The
squad is now 1 and 1.

The word for die cindermen
was "depth" as they collected 10
first place finishes, 13 seconds, and
7 thirds. In the field events Wash-
iiigton College swept the shot put
with McCinnis taking first with a
heave of 40'7" and Mock and
Murphy finishing second ihird re-
spectively. Pete Johnson won the
javelin with a toss of 177'1/a" and
McCinnis took second. Johnson's
loss was only eight feet under the
school record. Since he is only a
freshman, it appears that the
school record is in jeopardy.

Washington Nine
Seeks First Win

The Washington College base-
ballers are still looking for their
first victory after dropping three
games last week. The losses
brought their record to 0-4. Last
year after the first four games, the
team boasted a record of 2-2.

Last Tuesday, the Sho'men lost
both ends of a doubleheader to
Western Maryland. In the first
game, the Sho'men let some fine
pitching go to waste in a 4-1 de-
feat.

Scattered Hitting

The game was tied going into
the seventh inning when the Ter-
rors went ahead to stay. The Sho'-
men were hurt by scattered hitting
and five errors. Senior Sonny Wun-
derlich was the losing pitcher.

In somewhat of a wild second
game, a six-run Washington rally
in the final inning fell short,
stranding three runners. The big

loaded double by Al Perry. The
final score was 10-7 with Al Streel-
man the losing pitcher.

Unearned Runs

On Saturday, the Sho'men
fumbled away a close game by
making six errors in an 8-5 defeat
to Swarthmore. All totaled, six of
the eight Swarthmore runs were
unearned. An overworked Wunder-
Hch was the victim of shoddy sup-
port and was charged with the
setback.

Commenting on the Swarthmore
game, Coach Lefty Elliott said
that he was encouraged by the
pickup in hitting as the team
banged out 11 hits. However, he
was distrubed with the poor field-
ing and the numher of strikeouts
by his team.

High Praise

Individually, George Buckless
had three hits and Wunderlich and
Streelman two apiece. Coach El-
liott also had high praise for the
defensive work of freshman Larry
Martin, who made several fine
plays in sharing the third base
duties with Lou House.

Still looking for the right de-
fensive combination, Elliott has
shifted Alan Perry, the regular
catcher for the past two seasons,
to first base and has named fresh-
man Dave Bruce behind the plale
Bruce responded by throwing out

relief pitcher Dick Car-

Streelman Stars

The Sho'men hope to crack the
win column on Tuesday in an
away game with Penn Military
College. Al Streelman has been
named the starting pitcher, ft is
hoped that he will be ready to go
the distance. Last year the game
with PMC was rained out. Two
years ago the Sho'men lost 4-3.

Coach Elliott hopes that the
Sho'men will be able to reduce the
number of errors and strikeouts.
In four games the Sho'men have
committed eighteen errors and
struck out forty-two times.

The hitting according to Coach
Elliott had showed signs of im-
proving and if the pitching con-
tinues to improve, it is hoped that
the team will gather momentum
for a successful season.

Two Crews

Enough students to fill two eight
oared boats attend his sessions each
week, and have already begun to
notice that they are able to row
together for short distances. Row-
ing smoothly in unison is difficult,
particularly when the entire crew
is new to the sport, and must mas-
ter the three parts of the stroke:
the catch, the pull through, and
the finish. Subtleties

voiding hitting one's own knee in
returning to the catch position are
being mastered, but in the mean-
time, bloody palms and thumbs
tell of strains on hitherto unused
muscles and skin.

An eight-oared shell is about
sixty-one feet long, with a beam of
about twenty four inches. Depth
of a shell is only nine and one-half
to ten inches, and these proportions
indicate the importance of balance
in a shell. A quick move in get-
ting into the boat or when leaving,

while rowing easily lead to a dunk-

water. "Catching a crab" refers to

The problem of a sponsoring or-

Washington College.

Since one architectural firm created a master plan for the
development of the physical plant at the college, another firm
has been hired to execute plans very sirnlar_jo, if not identical
to the original ones.

When space in building— indeed the buildings themselves
— and, of course, money, come at such high premiums, it strikes
us that some useful purpose may be found for Cain. It is a
fundamentally sound structure, and renovation or modification
of its interior would, surely, cost less than its total demolition,
and would provide the college with what we are assured is badly
needed space for ;~ny number of projects.

The main floor might be used for lectures — too big for
Dunning— too small for the new Fine Arts Building theatre.
Rehearsals for the college Players, the Drama workshop, or the
Chester Players' productions could be staged without interfer-
ing with the tight si. Iirdulint; ol the Fine Arts stage. Communi-
ty groups could meet there — groups which are too large to
meet in the Alumni House) which is currently being used for
some local meetings). If the use of Cain for theatre purposes
were explored further, the college might be able to receive a
grant from the Humanities Division of the National Founda-
tion of Arts and Sciences. This group is seeking to aid regional
or community theatre groups. Chestertown has an established.
performing organization, and presumably could qualify for a
grant, relieving the college of at least a part of the burden of
renovating or converting Cain to its new uses.

The gym could be used as a shooting and sound stage for
video tape programs when the college acquires the equipment,
as it is planning to do. If an FM radio station were established
on campus, the front office space is a natural location for the
studio. The downstairs area is well-suited for showering and
dressing or make-up work for theatre productions. The main
floor area could also be used for music rehearsals or practice
sessions by campus or visiting combos.

Sex Education

The Elm supports efforts on behalf of the expressed stu-
dent and faculty interest in establishing some sort of sex edu-
cation "program" at Washington College.

Without including specifics or details, proposals have been
made to the WRA, the SGA and other campus organizations to
sponsor a series of discussions— not only about the "facts of life"
but also about the larger, moral issues related to sex: love, the
family, and one's obligations to others, for example.

The mechanics of the "lectures" and "seminars" (factual
information would best be presented in a lecture; discussion in a
small, informal group) remain to be worked out— perhaps dif-
ferently by each sponsoring organization. However, it i '
that this is at least one gap in the educational process
college which may be closed, to the benefit of everyor
cerned. The idea of having a sex education program is a
one, and deserves college-wide support.

and shutout pitching by left-hand-
ers Bill Selwood and Jim Coleman.
The Sho'men used Cam Smith,
Dick Carrington, and Rick Weiser
in a vain effort to halt the run-
scoring. When it was all over,
Washington had been whitewash-
ed, 10-0. The only noticeable high-
lights for the Sho'men were three
hits by George Bucklcss and two
shutout innings in relief by pitcher
Rick Weiser.
Double-Header Against Upsala
Following this encounter was
home double-header against Upsa-
la of New Jersey. After being rout-
ed in the opener, 10-1, the Sho'-
men held a 4-2 lead in the night-

The Washington College tennis

In its last attempt at Susque-

indecisive when rain cancelled the
last set of the second doubles
match and the entire final doubles

Split Singles

In singles competition, Wash-

Dick Checket and Bill Manning

6-1, 6-3, respectively, while Steve

had dropped the first doubles

Other winners for Washington
were John McGinnis in the shot

the 880 (2:03), and Bob Manning
in the pole vault (10'). Tim Boh-

Despite the poorest team per-

urday in Baltimore 9-6.

In the game, the Sho'men were
outshot and outhustled by their
upset-minded opponents. It was
obvious from the start of the game
that the Greyhounds were psychol-
ogically up for the game while the
Sho'men, after facing Hopkins last
week-end, were not ready.
Poor Conditions

While not attempting to make
excuses for the team's showing,

Coach Pritzlaff stated that the con-
ditions of the field were extreme-
ly poor and that the Sho'men had
three players, Ron Regan, Pat
Gray, and Steve Clagett, who
could not go at full speed because
of injuries. Also, ho believed that
the refereeing was the poorest that
he had ever seen.

Sloppy Play
The first half of the game was
ry sloppy. The Sho'men could
it hold the ball in their territory
prolonged time, but still led

At the start of the second half
the Sho'men seemed to be moving

Scoring Divided

The scoring for Washington Col-
lege was divided between six play-
ers, Carl Ortman, Mike Kelly, Pat
Gray. Ron Regan, Mark Madden,
and Jim Chalfant.

Sustituting for injured goalie
Ford Schuman, Dave Boulden had
an outstanding game for the Sho'-
men as he tallied twenty-nine saves.

This Saturday, the stickmen
journey to Swarthmore to play an-
other game in their defense of the
Strnhbar title. Last year the Sho'-

licli pitched -!\ .umng innings, but Strccl:

tired in the seventh, and was re- loss a

lieved by Carrington. Dick got one only I
while allowing four

"scratch" hits. Cam Smith then
came in, and threw one pitch to
retire the side on a flvout to Harry
Webb.

Sho'men Lead

In the second game, Washington
jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the
openiny inning on a leadoff triple
by Dave Bruce, a walk to George
Buckless, and a triple by Bob Van-
derclock. In the third inning the
Sho'men made the score 4-2 on
another walk to George Bucklcss,
a double by Bob Vanderclock, a
bunt single by Al Streelman, and
Al Perry's sacrifice fly.

Poor defense once again spelled
defeat for Coach Elliot's team, as
Upsala scored three runs in the
fifth inning, all unearned, Al

irbed the hard-luck
loss as he gave up seven hits and
only two earned runs.

One cannot expect a team with
an 0-7 record to show too much*
on the positive side, but a look
at the statistics docs show hitters
over the .300 mark, with George
Bucklcss at ,333 and Bob Vander-

clock !

.320.

Pitcher Below Potential
The Sho'men pitching staff is,
to say the least, having its (roubles.
The "lowest" ERA on the staff is
Al Strcelman's 5.25. Rick Weiser
has not given up an earned run in
two innings, but each of the other
pitchers arc performing far below
their potential.

THE WASHINGTON ELM

SPORTS

A Quick
Stick

by Dick Louck

Last Saturday, Washington College again played the David
and Goliath bit. Sadly, the Sho'men found themselves cast in
the role of Goliath opposing the weak David (Loyola).

Loyola showed surprising hustle, and not-so-surprising
rough play, challenging the Sho'men and approaching to within
one goal (7-6) before finally losing 9-6. For the second week
the "David" team worried the "Goliath" team.

The Baltimore papers figured Washington to romp, but
they failed to take into account the advantage of playing on
Loyola's home field, the probable low ebb of the Sho'men's
morale after last week's high tide against Hopkins, and they
couldn't calculate the effect of injuries to five of the first thirteen
players.

Playing on Loyola's field is an experience thankfully de-
nied our loyal fans. The field, besides being small and concrete-
hard, is constructed on a baseball diamond — complete with an
obstructing pitcher's mound. It is probably one of the worst
fields in the country.

In addition to the deplorable conditon of the field, the
Loyola fans are another problem which the players dislike.
In this respect, perhaps only Washington College fans can
match Loyola as cutting, loud and critical. Their loyalty can-
not be denied, but their methods certainly can be improved.

Loyola used their advantages to the fullest, often breaking
up attempted clears by the Washington defense, and using the
hometown referees to best advantage. The game was rough,
often dirty, but Loyola just wasn't able to match the finesse
of Washington College.

I must give Loyola credit for being scrappy. They out-
hustled us, out-shot us and played dirtier and got away with
it better than the Sho'men. So, as the «ame progressed, the
injured list grew, tempers flared, and the mighty Goliath turned
its scoring machine selector to "Rc.nan-Ortmari-Chalfant" and
pulled away from the scrappy Hounds.

Notes — Ours is the only team I know of that has two official
coaches and approximately five unofficial assistants — yet what
we really need is a good trainer — six players are at half or zero
strength because of injuries which would be considered minor
with competent care — these injuries, with proper care could be
gone in a matter of days, but instead will linger on, maybe for
weeks, because there is no one on campus who can afford the
time, has the ability, or the equipment to properly handle the
injuries, and the hurt goes on.

"ESP and Its Philosophical Im-

a talk this Friday evening at the

of the Philosophy Department of

ESP (Extra-Sensory Perception)
is a general term that includes a
variety of ways of knowing apart
from ordinary sense perception,
among them precognition and com-

fessor Foster's talk will center on
cases of precognition — cases in
which an event has been foretold
in advance and later come true.
Such cases are the easiest to docu-

; therefore, that it is an ideal tit
tion die possibility of establishing
system at Washington College.

There has been much activity over this plan in colleges
throughout the country, and many different proposals and meth-
ods of implementation have been suggested.

The letter grades A, B, and C might be made a passing
grade, D and F failures. Perhaps a certain number of the re-
quired thirty-two courses a student must take to graduate could
be included in the past-fail plan. In other words, not all courses
need be handled in this manner, but it would be the student's
option to decide which of the courses he selects would be mark-
ed according to the "pass" or "fail" system.

These courses would not be included in the computation
of the cumulative average. Some courses could be excluded
from the plan at the discretion of the department. The plan
could be made available to students in all classes, or limited to
upperclassmen. The past-fail opdon could be exercised in
courses in a student's major or minor fields, or in an elective

These suggestions are only some possibilities which have
been considered, and in some cases, implemented, elsewhere. Jt
seems to us that a pass-fail grading system is one step, a good
step, closer to reducing the emphasis on grades Students and
faculty are aware of the temptation to prepare only for ma-
terial a student may expect to find on an examination. In ef-
fect, the student is not really learning the course material; he
is preparing for examinations on anticipated selected bits of
course material. Reduced emphasis on grades, while retain-
ing a yardstick for measuring achievement, may well induce a
greater emphasis on learning for learning's sake.

The Elm proposes that the SGA establish a committee
composed of faculty and students to investigate the possibilities
of and interest in this idea.

While healthy competition would continue to exist, sure-
ly some of the unnecessary pressure for grades may be elim-

Inebriation reduces one's resistance to temptations such as
smashing windows and vending machines, staining or defacing
walls and pavements, propositioning women (who may be just
as drunk), and playing or making loud "music" at late hour*.

This kind of behavior demonstrates a distinct lack of imag-
ination and one wonders whether the qualities of style: wit,
charm, and grace are at a low ebb. The students have an op-
portunity to prove, most importantly to themselves, that these
qualities have not disappeared from Washington College.

A recent newspaper editorial stated: "In the time tense
with war, protests, searches for identity and assertive individ-
uality there is an increasing tendency to forget that it is quali-
ties of style, humor, courtesy, and personal grace and that af-
ter all make life bearable."

Elm Interviews New College Dean

Burns "Disenchanted" With Penn;
Likes Small College Atmosphere

By Dick Heymann

A new Dean of Washington Col-
lege, Dr. Landon C. Burns, Jr.
was appointed to the post early in
February by the Board of Visitors
and Governors. Replacing Acting-
Dean Nicholas Neivlin, Dr. Burnt
will take office here on July 1.

The new Dean is currently serv-
ing as assistant professor of English
at the University of Penrnylnrnia,
in Philadelphia. The Elm conduct-
ed an interview with Dr. Burns in
the faculty lounge at the univer-
sity, to obtain his views concern-
ing plans he has made for Wash-
ington College, some of his hopes
for the college, and his views on
education in general.

Ph.D. in '59

He received his B.A. in 1951
from Yale University. He earned
his M.A. in 1956 and his doctorate
in 1959, both from Yale, after serv-
ing as a lieutenant in the United
States Navy from 1951 to 1954.

He was appointed instructor of

This process of improving the
quality of the student body and
of spreading the reputation of the
college "cannot be done overnight"
and constitutes a long-range pro-
ject. The better the college's repu-
tation, the better qualified wilt be
the students attracted to it, which
will in turn increase the quality of
the student body, and so on.
Ph.D. Prestige
He recognizes the prestige value
of the Ph.D. degree and while it
ily related to the
tality of an individual as a teach-
, he plans to maintain the high
tio of Ph.Dd.'s among the fac-

ed student body, rather than well

This means it is better to have
individuals especially talented or
able in a certain area than a stu-
dent less talented in more fields.
In this way, the student body when
viewed as a whole is well rounded.
Concerning independent student

it depends on the student— wheth-
er he is ready personally for the
added responsibilities of indepen-
dent work or research at the un-

amount of time required on the
part of the faculty who must deal
with each student separately must
also be taken into consideration.

September Opening Slated
For College Arts Center

By Carolyn Erwin
If the wisdom contained in the
old adage, "things worth hiving
are well worth waiting for" can
be relied upon, the Fine Arts Cen-
ter, the most eagerly and long
awaited project in Washington
College's eight year expansion,
should be the most prized addition
to college facilities.

The Fine Arts Center, which
suffered many delays and setbacks
due to material and manpower
shortages, will be ready for use in
September according to the latest
reports from Mr. Tony Parkes,
Director of Department.

Major construction on the build-
ing has largely been completed.
The workmen are presently putting
the finishing touches on the inter-

and workshops have been insulated

soundproofed, the plaster has been
added, the first coat of paint ap-
plied, some of the windowpanrs

champion's berth in the Strobahr division. Baltimore papers,
even the Lacrosse Newsletter had given Towson a good chance.

Ron Regan, Jim Chalfant, Barry Drew, Carl Ortman and
other top scorers were to change that prediction rather quickly
and dish out a large portion of humble pie to the paper Tigers
from Towson. The Sho'men unleashed an amazingly accurate
and potent offense to romp by a 20-8 score.

Swarthmore College, expected to be big and hruising
proved even less a threat to the Sho'men in last Saturday's tilt,
which the Kcllymcn won easily, 10-3. Washington nicked in
five goals before Swarthmore could tally, then tipped the score
to 7-1 before Swarthmore scored again.

By this time the Sho'men were beginning to play ho-hum
ball and made many amateurish mistakes. Still, the Swarth-
more team failed to capitalize on most of the mistakes and
remained behind.

Ford Schurnan was again outstanding in the goal. Once he
raced downfield, faked about four players cold and drove in to
take a shot, only to have the ball hang up in his stick and go
wide of the goal.

Tom Heald, a speedy defensive mate, also had a chance to
score as he ran towards the goal, on a one-on-one with the
goalie, and threw the ball over the goal and out of bounds.

As the Sho'men cruised, the Swarthmore crease attackman
remarked, "We didn't expect to win, we only wanted to give
you guys a good game." Wish they had, then maybe Oris,
Chal, Regs, Rock and others would have gotten more fired up
and really swamped Swarthmore.

I can't help feeling a little sorry for the guys from Towson.
They really thought they had a great team and were going to
teach those "creeps" from the Eastern Shore a lesson. Well,
the tables turned on the Tigers. One could say they were
dumped, as well as turned.

They were, to put it mildly, shocked. Their coach didn't
talk to the team until long after the game had ended. The
players walked back to the locker room stunned, and it seemed
they had lost the championship of the world.

Some were angry. One remarked, "That number thirty-
seven was the biggest farmer I have ever seen." Too bad that

Donna Blatt '68

Dear Editor:

The most naive would agree that
a course evaluation guide must be
the result of an objective interpre-
tation of student comments. The
entire value of such a guide rests
upon that understanding. For the
most part Evaluation '67 was a
success. Most evaluations were ob-
jective and used often such terms
as: "The majority of students felt
. .". "A few . .", "The students
were'divided . . .".

However, a few evaluations
failed to keep that necessary ob-
jectivity and are consequently of
little use to either the students or
the professors of those courses. For
the student evaluator to suddenly
lose sight of the fact that he is
supposed to be interpreting data
and not offering his personal opin-
ion, is, of course, a grave error
in any type of objective reporting.
Showing partiality by a religious-
like admiration for a professor is
just as great a fault as showing a
personal dislike for a course or a

tn an evaluation beginning with
a statement such as "A student
can afford to miss a class without
missing a thing" is obviously a
subjective commentary. It immedi-
ately throws the whole evaluation
into a personal and emotional ar-
gument. Once establishing such a
strong opinion at the beginning,
the writer must not change his
tone in the remainder of the report
lest he appear to be inconsistent.
Any positive comments must be
interpreted in a way to support
the polemic already established.
Poor evaluators, reporters, and
jurors do this without realizing it.

Those few erring evaluations,
being a part of the whole, have
the tendency of throwing bad light
on the whole Evaluation '67 , and
thus encouraging adverse com-
ments such as "irresponsible", "in-
sincere" and "not serious". Eval-
uations '67 '68, '69, '70 deserve

they intend to spend only on them-
selves. Not so the Washington Col-
lege Players. This group used a
portion of the profits from its dra-
matic productions to subsidize two
trips to the National Theatre in
Washington, D. C. The cost of a
ticket, including round-trip bus
transportation, was three dollars
per person — a real bargain by
anyone's standards. Since these
tickets were available to the entire
college community, the Players
should be commended for their
generosity.

But how was this generosity re-
dents and faculty members alike
chose to spend two Saturday eve-
nings doing something else. The
first performance drew a respect-
able but modest number of people,
but attendance at the second (and
ironically the better performance
of the two) was disgustingly small.
In several cases, people who had
signed up for tickets cancelled out
without notifying the Players that
they weren't going, leaving the or-
ganization with unused tickets for
which the group had already paid.

I believe that everyone has a
right to select that form of enter-
tainment which he considers most
enjoyable. However, in a town
where one hears constant com-
plaints that there is "nothing to
do," the lack of support for these
excursions is inexcusable. If the
Washington College community
chooses to ignore such opportuni-
ties, it must expect to he denied

The United States Senate has
approved by a 53-26 vote a plan
to provide a federal income tax
credit of up to $325 for tuition,
books and fees paid by students in

enactment of the plan probably
will depend on the decisions made
by a joint Senate-House of Repre-

it would be available to working

MacBird, which began its four
day run here last night, is the
most controversial play produced
this year, both on Broadway and

at Washington College. J.i Edgar
Hoover, Director of the F.B.I. ,
called MacBird "a satirical piece
of trash which maliciously defames
the President of our country . . ."
Some graduates of Washington
College and other persons have
written to the college and express-
ed similar sentiments, "Where are
our censors?" queried one letter.

Written in Shakespearean verse,
touches of Hamlet and MacBeth
are to be found. However, the style
is predominately Mrs. Garson's —
a contemporary interpretation of
the Elizabethan drama.

A parody of Shakespeare's Mac-
Beth, MacBird characterizes the

Kennedy-Johnson rivalry. In this
political satire, Mrs. Garson de-
picts the two-facedneu of all pol-

MacBird, who pledgei support
and friendship to John Ken
O'Dunc, secretly plots to take over
the crown. Similar to the situation
in MacBtth, MacBird plans the
death of John Ken O'Dunc in hi*

MacBird is the final production
for the flayers this year. It will
also be the final production staged

Experiment With Curfews

The college's administration maintains that it does not
like to play the in loco parenti role, and there is now an oppor-
tunity to prove that statement.

Through the Women's Residence Association, efforts are
being made to establish a system of no curfews for senior wom-
en. The Elm wholeheartedly supports their position, and hopes
the administration will give next year's senior women a chance
to prove that they are capable of handling the responsibilities
involved.

The objectives as stated in the WRA proposal are 1) "To
permit senior women more freedom in arranging their time and
activities;" 2) "To provide an example for upperclass women
and at the same time a privilege for senior women" and 3) "Ul-
1 most importantly, to form an increasingly mature
esponsible college student and graduate."

As the proposal also states, if by their senior year, the wom-
en of Washington College are not capable of handling the re-
sponsibility they will have to face immediately after receiving
their diploma, "the college is failing somewhere in its responsi-
bility to graduate mature adults."

According to the new plan, girls would sign-out, giving the
information necessary to reach her in the event of an emergency,
and seal the information in an envelope. This would not be
opened unless emergency existed, or in the event that the girl
was more than one-half hour late in returning (based on the
time she signed out for, indicating the time she expected to re-
Girls would be required to leave before curfew, if they ex-
pect to stay out beyond it; deadline for sign-out would be 10:00
P.M. Girls must return by 7:00 A.M. unless they have signed
out for a weekend or an overnight.

Specifics about implementation of the new curfew system
remain to be settled, but it is clear that this is an honest attempt
to exercise a responsibility and a privilege. The senior women
of Washington College should be given the chance to do so.

Tuition — Tax Break

The results of a questionnaire completed by Washington
College freshmen indicate that about one-third of their families
earn less than $10,000 annually. If this proportion is even*
closely reflected in the family incomes of students in the other
three classes, Senator Abraham RibicofTs tax credit plan (de-

"Sort of High"
A group of Reid Hall freshmen
whipped up a batch of banana
scrapings but the results were dis-
appointing. "Nothing happened,"
sighed one coed, "and the smell
was terrible." One girl reported
that she felt "sort of high" after
a drag on bananas effluvia, but
then added that she felt pretty
good even before puffing.

It was suggested that Philip
Scott-Smith, a veteran pipe smok-
er, was adding a touch of banana
to his tobacco mixture. "No," he
declined, "I think I'll stick to my
Brinkely's mixture."

The "high" everyone is talking
about is caused by a chemical con-
tained in the bananas and their
peels called saratonin, a chemical
found in the human nervous sys-
tem. Although the results have not
been compiled scientifically, it is
debatable that the bananas con-
tain enough saratonin to give a
good psychedelic high. "The high

Dr. Kirkpatrick will be working

will involve some aspect of animal

Seminars will enable fellow re-
searchers to share their experiences
in other fields which span com-
puter-assisted learning, tempera-

visual sensitivity changes.

Dr. Joseph McLain will spend
most of his summer in Chester-
town, completing the third and
final year of work on an Army

Dr. McLain, who is assisted in
the laboratory by Michael Mc-

tassium chlorate-sulphur system
which is used as a fuel mix in
marker grenades. The mixture,

"We visit every Maryland high

will be continued, he stated, along
with the personal campus inter-
view policy for all prospective stu-
dents who visit the campus.

Students who tum down an ac-

attending other schools of higher
quality than ever before, Mr. Gray

In order to obtain students with
more diverse backgrounds, the per-

state has risen to 60 per cent;
Maryland residents used to com-
prise a similar percentage of the
student body. This change has oc-
curred within the past few years,
Mr. Gray noted.

"Another method for improving
the quality of students applying to
Washington College is to encour-
age alumni and faculty to 'recruit'
especially well-qualified students,"
Mr. Gray said. "Outstanding stu-
dents with good records academ-
ically or with above-average tal-

to apply."

Clairvoyance And ESP
Are Topic Of Lecture

"The philosophic implications of
Extra-Sensory Perception," better
known as ESP, was the topic of a
lecture given by Professor Lewis
Foster of the Philosophy Depart-
bent of William and Mary last
Friday evening in Hynson Lounge.

"There are many forms of ESP,"
Professor Foster explained, "all of
them leading or claiming to lead
to knowledge gained by means oth-
er than the five senses." Professor
Foster went on to explain that
there is considerable evidence to
support those who claim to have
ESP and that if it is proven to
exist, it would have serious im-
plications for modern philosophy.

"Various forms of ESP are now
being investigated by psycholo-

"The idea of pre-cognition goes
back to the Grccki and existed
then as the Oracle at Delphi.
Some of the best evidence, how-
ever is contemporary and there has
boen a real attempt to work with
this in the lab."

Professor Foster concluded hii
lecture by stating that if, as some
philosophers claim, the five senses
developed because they were prag-
matically useful, the ESP might
be another tense, as yet not fully
developed. "The predjudice
against the idea of ESP has hamp-
ered work in the field," Professor
Foster concluded, "but it is no
more ridiculous to investigate ESP
than to investigate memory. In-
quiry into the field should certain-

From the standpoint of individ-

fares badly in comparison with an

How do we get from the present

goal. And military pay and fringe

Lacrosse fans noted a slow start by the Sho'men, attributa-

or hampered workouts on the main field. The Kellyrnen soon
shrugged off this lethargy and began what was to become a
12-0 lead Iwfoix' the Generals scored.

Obviously, W & L concentrated their offense with their at-
tack. Every time the midfielders brought the ball downfield,
the W&L attack called for the ball and tried to work some
action from there instead of attempting some midfield play.

The close defense of Tom Heald, goalie Ford Schuman
and especially Pete Belts, played exceptionally well. Belts was
consistent and rugged on defense. Added to the fantastic clears
of Schuman, this defense was able to shut out W&L until the
last quarter.

Schuman was taken out with the score 10-0, and Dave
Boulden took over, and continued with fine style in the goal.
Boulden made several good saves, one especially memorable;
a one-on-one at point blank range. Boulden refused to be faked-
out and came out of the crease to block a well-placed shot by
the General's best attackman, Jim Chew.

Defense play was so good all day that the Sho' goalies were

the title with a record of 4-0 in

of the game, which was called af-

inning on back-to-back doubles by
Bob VanDerClock and Al Streel-
man. In all, the team managed
five hits.

The Towson contest began as
many baseball games have begun
this year. Washington, after the
first inning, had jumped ahead of
their opponents, 2-1. This was due
to Dave Bruce's lead-off double, a
walk lo Gee Hibberd, and a single
by Bob VanDerClock. Bruce scor-
ed on the single. When the out-
field relay was misplayed, Hibberd
scored also. Pitcher Streelman

the Sho'men.

Despite playing sloppy lacrosse,
the Sho'men managed to score

Name Bands — Too Big?

Each student pays $9.50 per semester to the Student Gov-
ernment Association through the student activities fee. This
money is distributed by the SGA to campus clubs and organiza-
tions that show enthusiasm and leadership — and, of course, a
need for financial support.

The Elm wonders how many students realize that fully 70
per cent of the $19.00 paid annually to the SGA is used to
finance the social functions sponsored by the campus govern-

It seems incredible that not even one-third of the students'
money is used for purposes other than throwing parties. Al-
though diere are obvious immediate benefits to be gained from
having an active social calendar, and although the SGA may
be honestly attempting to meet criticisms about the lack of
campus social life, it is spending an exorbitant amount on bands
and other entertainment

The Social Chairman of the SGA obviously feels it is im-
portant for Washington College to have big-name bands and
personalities on campus; he has stated that "events such as these
(spring weekend, Homecoming) create a sense of unity in the
student body. . . . These events give the student body some-
thing to look forward to."

Spring weekend this year is costing over $4,000. Smokey
Robinson and the Miracles are giving the college a "hot deal"
and are charging only $3,000 for their performances.

The Elm wonders whether the "sense of unity" created by
spending more than $4,000 on one weekend is worth it. AH too
often, the value of the performance by the big-name band is
lost in the frenzy of the armory crowd. A concert-like setting
would at least provide an opportunity to see the group perform.

Fortunately, newly elected SGA President, Steve Myking,
wants to cut down on the social expenses of the SGA. This
decision is something less than arbitrary for him; it is a necessi-
ty. There simply aren't enough funds to continue in the style
to which we have become accustomed. Already the possibility
of having a dance aboard the Port Welcome has been eliminated
for next year, and SGA officers are concerned that there wi"<
be insufficient funds to make the down-payments for the enter-
tainment for Homecoming weekend.

The Elm supports the move to reduce social expenditures
by the SGA, and suggests that a slightly less well-known band
may produce the loud, "motown" sounds desired, at less cost,
allowing redistribution of funds to campus organizations. Saving
even $1,000 on social activities will permit the granting of more
funds to campus organizations, and in some cases, may double
their resources allowing them to sponsor more energetic and
constructive programs and

A situation which I have been

Termed Dramatic Happening

Dui

Countc of

Alex

Charles Fechter and adapted by
Mr. james Miller, professor of
English at Washington College,
will be presented by the Chester
Players as part of the Chestertown
Ter Party Festival.

The play, a kind of "campie

Mil

expei

i during tin- singe a
tion. Mr. Miller explained that I
plans to use two screens, one stai
right and one stage left. The a

, both will be
running simultaneously.
Silent Films
In addiiton to the filmed se-
quences, there will be a series of
35 mm slides which will be shown
on the screen at stage right which
will mock the action and dialogue
on stage. Mr. Miller has some old
silent film prints which he plans
to use including some of Doug-
las Fairbanks— senior, that is, and
some of Clara Bow.

"It's going to be kind of a mel-
odramatic happening", explained
Mr. Miller. "We decided to do
something with melodrama and
have had a lot of fun adapting it.
The lighting, for example, will be
very melodramatic and we plan to
use a lot of color on stage."
Freelanced Script
"The idea for this kind of a
production came about two years
ago when we were doing Soroyan's
"The Cave Dwellers", Mr. Miller
stated. "We used a filmed se-
quence and like the effect. We're
doing a lot of experimenting and
of course taking a lot of liberties
with the script."

Rehearsal for the stage se-
quences is just getting started, ac-
cording to Mr. Miller since the
stage and auditorium have been
in use for both the Players produc-
tion of "MacBird" and the Spring
chorus concert. The filmed se-
quences are almost completed,
however, most of the filming be-
ing done by cameraman Chuck
Engstrom at Vince Raimond's
Teahouse. The "screenplay" was
partially written by Senior English
major Christy Kent and Junior
Cheslcy Stone.

The cast includes many college
personnel as well as townspeople
who have been active in the Ches-
ter Players. Hal Taylor will play

re! and Jack Schroeder a
lers. Also included in the cast will
be Chuck Engstrom as Noirtier,
Kent Wallermire as Caderousse, Al
Miller as Fernand, Mike Travieso
as Villefort, and Dean Westerdahl
as Faria. Other major roles will be
played by Charles Cockey as
Brigadier and J. C. Dulin as Al-

The female cast members include
Linda Waltermire as Mmle. Dang-
lars, Dolly Schroeder as Mercedes
and Mary Jean Hudson as Car-
Honk y-Tonk Revived

In keeping with the camp ap-
proach to the play, the background
music will be honky-tonk piano
played by Henry Kratzer. The
stage sets will include a rolling
wagon along with several back-
drops which can be lowered and
raised during the play.

The Chester Players have been
active since 1965. To date, they
have presented such productions as
Soroyan's "the Cave Dwellers",
Tennessee Williams' "Summer and
Smoke", Bernard Shaw's "Arms
and the Man" and Herb Gardi-
ner's "Thousand Clowns" as well
as two children's plays, "Peter
Pan" and "Many Moons."

The production is planned for
May 18, 19 and 20 plus one per-
formance on May 27 as part of the
Tea Party Festival. All perform-
ances will be held in William
Smith Auditorium at 8:30. Asked

was Maryland's first and occurred
on May 23, 1774.

In addition to the Chester

features daily re-enactment of the
original event, a walking house

The Spring Honors Convocation,
termed "a day of sanity" by speak-
er Dr. Gerda Blumenthal, chair-
man of the Department of Mod-
ern Languages at Washington Col-
lege, was held Tuesday, May 9, in
Russell Gymnasium.

In defining what she meant by
"sanity", Dr. Blumenthal set the
tone for the annual convocation,
held to recognize the accomplish-
ments of outstanding students. Dr.
Blumenthal slated that in honor-

Basing her talk on the theme
of reality and delusion, Dr. Blum-
enthal explained that by sanity, she
meant "the inner sanity which re-
sults when an individual has the
courage to come to grips with re-
ality." "Reality," she explained,
"comes coated with endless layers
of delusions which we provide for
ourselves to make life smooth and
comfortable."

"Sanity, then, is having the
freedom and courage to see things
as they really are. To do this one
must take off the wrappings im-
posed by habit and free onself of
neat conceptualized thinking which
deals in abstractions and disguises
reality," she stated.

Referring again to Anna Ka-

sculptor, for example, takes a slab

"Artistic creation, then is a new
way of viewing reality," she con-
tinued. "It is discarding all the
old habits and ready-made con-
ceptions and seeing reality as it has
never before been seen." Dr. Blum-

"Coming to grips with reality is

against the madness of delusion."

Suffer Loss to Mounts

By Bob VanDerClock
The prospect of salvaging a pos-
sible doubleheader victory against
Loyola on Saturday was ended by
rain, and so the Washington Col-
lege baseball team finished the
1967 season with undoubtedly one
of the worst records in the school's
history': one win, twelve defeats.
The dismal year was compounded
by the near-total loss of the team's

the best hitting since Washington

THE WASHINGTON ELM

SPORTS

A Quick
Stick

By Dick Louck

Last Saturday, Washington College lacrosse fans again were
treated to an excellent performance by coach Kelly's charges,
as they demolished a visiting Hofstra University squad on a
rain-soaked Kibler field.

Defense, attack and midfield units all clicked together and
routed Hofstra by a 16-3 score. Carl Ortman continued on his
path toward top scoring honors by matching Mike Kelly's five
goals, both players getting high-goal honors for the game.

Ron Regan out-pointed both although not scoring a goal.
Regan fed others for seven goals to add seven assist points to
his national high total of 71 points, 49 of those being assists.

Although the field was wet and slippery, and a cold, light
rain fell throughout the game, the caliber of play was sur-
prisingly controlled. Washington's potent scoring machine put
the game out of reach early in the second half.

The Sho'men defense again showed strength, holding Hof-
stra to only 14 shots. Washington goalies were able to make
only five saves as the defense repeatedly took the ball from
Hofstra before they could get a shot at goal.

Earlier in the week the Sho'men swamped the University of
Delaware by a 16-6 score, but played poor lacrosse for most of
the game. Delaware was obviously outclassed as the Sho'men,
even though making many careless mistakes, managed to score
against the inept Blue Hens.

One aspect of the lacrosse team that has not been men-
tioned this year is the all-work, no glory job of team manager.
For two seasons this nearly thankless job has been handled well
by Gil Bliss. Gil has seldom made his presence known on the
team, yet without him the players would surely notice an un-
comfortable void.

Gil, a sophomore, has played lacrosse, as a goalie, but last
year was bested by Dave Boulden. This year with Ford Schu-
man, Boulden and Jim Blandford all ahead of him as goalies,
Gil again chose the ignominious job of manager.

But he is more than manager. Gill fills the voids of grounds
keeper, scorekeeper, news reporter, trainer, water boy, assistant
equipment manager, and once in a while manages to play goal
in a Junior Varsity game.

Lacrosse players, and for that matter, most athletes, con-
sider the team manager almost as a valet, and a sub-person.
Sadly this continues, yet without him, any team feels his ab-
sence. Thank you, Gil Bliss for doing a great job.

President Outlines Proposal
To Expand Acquatic Activity

For all students who chose
Washington College for its loc;

tcrways, there is hope for expan

. In an Elm

Pres-

ident Daniel Z. Gibson outlined
a proposal for a boathouse on col-
lege property.

"It's just a dream in my mind"
at the present time which needs
defining, explained the President,
but he hopes that a shelter for
small craft will increase opportuni-
ties for water activities. Despite the
proximity of the campus to water,
not one part has beach frontage,
and there is no likelihood of the
college purchasing any soon.
College Property

The only waterfront property is
on the grounds of the Hynson-
Ringgold House, the president's
home. The Chester River boundary
of the garden in front of the his-
toric house is a shallow cove about
one hundred feet in width. To one

side i

of the cove could be constructed
a boat shelter for college — and
student — owned craft.

The proposal is "in nobody's
development plans" at present,
and, the president explained, three
3teps must be completed before

ity would likely be given to equip-
ment of the newly established crew.
He added that students would be
welcome to bring private crafts to
Chestertown and that perhaps the
college could invest in a sailboat
for general use.

would encourage interested stu-
dents to view the cove and submit
plans or suggestions for the shel-

Difficult tasks performed well consistently, too often lead one
to forget how hard the job may be for the individual who labors
over the task.

Contributions to the extracurricular lift of Washington Col-
lege are frequent among members of the faculty. Too often we
forget, or do not know about valuable services rendered to the
college by selfless faculty members. The Elm would like to call
attention to those whose work is often behind the scenes and give
credit and recognition to them.

Near the top of the list must come Dr. Roland Gibson,
whose art collection has done much to spread the name of
Washington College. He has invested heavily of his own time
and money to exhibit his paintings in colleges, museums, and
galleries. Recently, Dr. Gibson personally took a number of his
art works to Salisbury, where he did a live television broadcast.

The weekly film series has been Professor Norman James'
baby, in addition to his valuable support lent to art trips, college
play productions, and to the Mount Vernon Literary Society.

The Washington College Chorus was enlivened this year by
John Walker's force and enterprise; Mrs. Helen Gibson ably
accompanied the chorus this year, as she has done in the past.
The field of music at the college is further strengthened by the
varied interests and talents of other faculty members. The
Kirkpat ricks. Dr. Smith, and Miss Covey are all willing to per-
form on their respective instruments and share their musical
enthusiasms with students.

Dr. Brown adds to the student's opportunities to appreciate
music, generously sharing his high-fidelity equipment, and by
inviting students to accompany him on his frequent trips to New
York's Lincoln Center.

Fencing, sailing, and choral directing are only a few of die
activities enjoyed by Dr. Robert Harder, and the many
students he includes in these ventures.

The campus religious organizations owe much to the unher-
alded but consistant support of Drs. Blumenthal, Haske, Wake-
lyn, and Trimmer.

Many hours of planning and work have been spent by Drs.
Tatum and Horsley on the Women's Honor Society, by Drs.
Grumpclt, McLain, and Wakelyn on various student interests,
and by Dr. and Mrs. Hoopes on their well-received and ably
conducted discussions in die field of sex education.

Recognition should also go to those persons who willingly
serve as chaperones to student functions.

Although not a member of the faculty, the Reverend Ralph
Minkcr deserves the gratitude of the college community for his
personal concern for many students, and for the welfare of the
college in general. He has nourished in a refreshing way the
religious and intellectual life of the college during the past two
years, and will be missed next year when he leaves Chestertown.

Stop Growing?

"Help Us Stop Growing" is the appeal of an advertisement
in last week's Time magazine on behalf of Washington College.
This slogan presents at least one curious contradiction : the
future of the college, the development of the college are
virtually synonymous with the objective of growth — certainly in
numbers, hopefully in quality.

Why then the appeal for funds to limit the size of the col-
lege? It seems that the ad is, at best, a clever entreaty for finan-
cial support and, at worst, a confused expression of the plans for
the future of the college.

The Elm hopes the ad represents the former effort: another
means of raising much-needed capital for the operating expenses
of the college. One may say that it is possible to grow in size —
yet remain "small" by retaining a high faculty-student ratio
while increasing the overall size of the student body. Yet this is
not the stated goal — according to the ad.

The Elm recognizes that Washington College is not in the
privileged position shared by numerous educational institutions —
that of having notoriety — and we admit that exposing the name
of the college to a national audience does indeed spread the
name of the college.

But isn't it possible to do it some other way?

Mr. Eliason keeps two private
planes based at the airport: a

and other pilots keep (heir plants

enthusiasm for flying, saying that
"it grows on you. Every flight is

from Chestertown to Friendship
International Airport in Baltimore.
Mr. Eliason states with conviction,
"YOU name an airport, and I'll
get you there."

Flying Lessons
If there are any students who
may be interested in flying, Mr,
Eliason said that he would be glad
to talk and give information to
them. "The lessons aren't particu-
larly difficult," he said, "but it
really isn't quite as easy as driving
a car." Students of flying learn the
basic handling of the airplane dur-
ing the first ten hours, then navi-
gation and the FAA regulations.

out that alt campus organizations
come first when money is appropri-

and that the social budget is de-

If the SGA resorted to deficit
spending bv borrowing as Mr. Os-
borne implies this would be the
tragic event, not the fact that we
spend three quarters of our budget
on social life that all the students
enjoy and need in Chestertown.

It seems to me that the assumed

Union at whatever cost is an
equally important moral and poli-

been debated.

Director of Development

A development office in the

minds of most people is synony-

deed, largely that's its function.
But, in a much larger sense the
phrase "college development" in-
cludes the total growth of an ins-
titution as well as the direction in

For Washington College the re-
cent growth and development
started in 1960 when the Heritage
Campaign was still in its formative
stages. Since 1962 when the formal
fund raising efforts were initiated,
some $8.5 million has been donat-
ed to this venerable institution.

That money has been allocated
for use in building three new dor-

the accomplishments in these
areas; but it is precisely in these
areas that the fund raising efforts
have had their reason for being. I
will leave it for others to describe
the ways in which Washington has
grown academically, but let me say
simply that by most quantitative
and qualitative measures there can
be no question about Washington
being a better school today than
ever before.

Looking into the future, what
can be expected? The projects of
the Heritage Campaign have been
pretty well defined. Requirements

By 1970, when the present Her-
itage Campaign is scheduled to
end, campus additions should in-
clude a new $1.5 million library,
a women's gymnasium, a swimming
pool, another men's dormitory and
an infirmary. There will as well,
be conversion and renovation of
existing facilities for faculty and

A crucially important matter.
and a necessary adjunct to these
accomplishments is the vital ex-
pansion of endowment funds for

erating income.

Total Program Considered

Taken individually one might
make a strong case for placing
priority on any one of the propos-
ed projects. Unfortunately t h c
parts cannot be separated from the
whole. We are looking at the
Washington College of 20 years

removal of Cain Gymnasium, for

the students away. So, the whole
thing is a spider's web and it is
nearly impossible to discuss accur-
ately a single part without missing
some other part of the complex
whole.

Education. These patterns are

changing very quickly today.

According to Frank E. Bowles,

founding a college per week in the
United States by 1980. By the
time the present Heritage Cam-
paign is concluded, electronic

Student enrollment in 1962 was 510 students; this

of twenty-three students per year. Again, il this
projection is followed, we will have an enrollment of
970 students by the year 19H2.

our society for the small college— with an enrollment
that is to be expanded to 750— and that there is a
very definite need for colleges of this si/e to cater to
students who do not want what the universities
have to offer.

I'm not suggesting that we take only mom's apple-
pic all American type students; but I think we should
have what Mr. Gray of the admissions department
here at Washington College commented on recently
as being a well-rounded student body, people from
all walks of life, from different ethnic, racial, and
national origins— who can contribute so much to the

Best School

I urge those of you who arc alumni to keep in
touch with what is going on on the campus; to re-
turn periodically to see the changes. In simple,
practical terms, the better the college is, the better
your diploma is. Now there are much broader rea-
sons for being in college but that, in this practical
societv, is a very useful one.

Clifford Hankey: 1 find myself asking the question:
if I had to make the choice again, if I was in the
positon of choosing a college, would I choose Wash-
ington College or a small liberal arts college, and
why. I am sure that I will be put in this position in
the future when someone asks my advice, asking
what I think of Washington College, what I think
of a liberal arts approach to education. What will

people (persons between the ages of 5-24).
By 1982 that will be close to 100 million. 10 mil-
lion of that group will be involved with undergrad-
uate education; twice as many as there are today.
Public education will begin at age 4 and continue
through age 24. That works out to one community
college per 50,000 residents. At the present time we
are founding approximately twenty colleges a year;
by 1980 we will be founding one per week.
Facilities Doubled

We will have to add, by 1975, facilities equal to
twice all the campus buildings that have been erected
in the United Slates since Harvard opened its doors
in 1636.

The economy is now spending about 6 per cent of
the gross national product on education; by 1982, it
will be spending 10 per cent on education, by the
year 2,000, the figure will have risen to 25 per cent.

In order, then, to remain relevant, we need not
abandon liberal arts; we need to adapt liberal arts.
Friendly Computers
Whatever path we follow, I think the students of
1982 can expect to develop friendly relations with
computers instead of teachers, have more freedom as
far as course selection is concerned, along with more
independent study. They will find less time for them-
selves; more video tapes, fewer text books. There
will be greater responsibility, mote mobility and less
identity.

Washington College is a small college, but should
not be considered unique with its financial problems.
I wish us luck.

Alexander "Sandy" Jones: Dr. Donalds of the
Johns Hopkins University history department was
quoted recently as saying that history is very inter-
esting in itself but that it has no real value unless
we apply it to the present and to the future. This is
what I propose to address myself to now.

There have been a number of changes in this col-
lege since I was a student. It is often said by my
contemporaries that we could no longer matriculate
here or be graduated from this institution, which
is undoubtedly true, and which I think is a recogni-
tion by these alumni that the college has improved.
Board Broadened
One of the first changes that was made when
President Daniel Gibson came to Washington College
was the expansion of the Board of Visitors and Gov-
ernors, from primarily Eastern Shoremen who suf-
fered from myopia and could not see beyond th*i
Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake Bay. The number
of men on the board was increased to thirty-six (the
size of the graduating class that year). This broad-
ened the "base" of the board considerably. Other
changes were instituted regarding the eligibility and
selection of members of the board.

When I was a student here, full professors were
paid less than instructors are paid now. The build-
ings all had been dedicated by Dr. William Smith,
and the students came from wherever the college
could get them.

Better Faculty
The faculty has quite obviously improved in cali-
bre and background. The students are drawn essen-
tially from the upper one-fifth of their graduating
classes, the remainder from the top half.

In the next fifteen years, I suggest that we emu-
late the start, the precedent that has been estab-
lished during the past fifteen years. In terms of ac-
complishment during that period, this is no small

: thing, though it is not all-inclusive,
but it is very important: the relationship that exists
between students and faculty and the relationship
that exists among students.

I will take the second One first. In speaking to
some of the panel members earlier, I mentioned that
I was afraid to graduate, that I didn't know what I
would do when I got my diploma, had I graduated
from the University of Maryland where I began my
college education.

Impersonality

In terms of student relations with other students, it
goes without saying that there is the element of im-
personality in the university system. At Washington
College we often boast of how well we get to know
one another, of the close friendships which are made
and never broken.

These are not the pleasant experiences, many
times that we make them out to be. They are hard
experiences. There are problems in dealing at this
very personal level which one can more easily avoid
at a large university. I do not know what I am go-
ing to do after my anticipated graduation, but I
know it is going to involve people. Dealing with
people, understanding their viewpoints, getting along

Carl Westerdahl

with people, (not necessarily agreeing with them)
but being able to work with them, to communicate
with them, is going to be a problem we all face.
Problem: Communication
Now I imagine this is probably trite and over-
simplified', but in our society, it is one of the biggest
problems: communication. And this is something
that while it might appear to be very easy down
here, isn't necessarily the case. It's something that
you have the opportunity to acquire. The challenge
is presented: there are problems in such close rela-
tionships, there are very definite rewards. You not
only get to know other people I think, but you get
to know yourself. Other people know you better.

THE WASHINGTON ELM

Value Of Liberal Arts Examined

Maybe that's the thing that makes it difficult some-
Instructor Relationship

What about the relationship with instructors?
Why do I think that is important?

I think the teacher at a liberal arts college this size

has the responsibility. One thing that is within this

realm (as course load, size of classes, and salaries

are not) is his relationship with students.

It's Not Enough

It is not enough to say that there are fewer stu-
dents in the classroom at a college this size; it is not
enough to say that you can get to know the teacher
better, on a personal basis.

The important thing is how this opportunity
is approached by both the student and the teacher.
The relationship. I would submit, at a school this
size, is the most important thing. I strongly believe
that. It is the measure of success or failure of the
school. At Washington, with only 600 students, the
opportunity, not only for knowing students, but for
motivating students.

Faculty Are People

If there is one thing that I can say positively about
this school and about what I've gotten from it, it's
this: I have gotten to know faculty members as peo-
ple. It is to view a teacher, as a person with a priv-
ileged position in the classroom. But something hap-
pens when you meet this person without his aca-
demic garb, when you finally come to realize that
education, being an educated man, does not neces-
sarily just mean accumlating facts, being able to
give a good, entertaining lecture, giving you the
grades that you think you deserve. There is some-

If there is really one strong point that this
school has, and could even improve on, it's this one
thing: I don't know what my educational status
is; we can figure out from grades and from compar-
ing ourselves with one another how much Washing-
ton College has affected us academically, how much
we have reacted to it. I don't know if I'm going to
become an educated man, but I know one thing now,
and I think if we're going to compare and contrast
university philosophy of education to the liberal
arts, I think this one point is valid, and I think it is
worth pointing out and remembering: While I might
not be an educated man, I know what an edu-
cated man is. And I think that is very important.
Dr. John Waketyn: I thought I would go into the
past of Washington College and see if there are any
clues in the past that might have some bearing on
the present, and more importantly, the future, of
Washington College. I have decided to look, from
1782 on and to project to 1982, to look from an his-
toric perspective into the years to come.
Money Raising On Horseback
As most of you know, William Smith, the first
Provost of the College of Philadelphia which became
the University of Pennsylvania was also the founder
of Washington College in 1782. His first task, I
suppose like every president, was to raise money.
Now for William Smith, it was a bit easier. He got
on his horse, he traveled the Eastern Shore for five
months, and raised the twenty or thirty pounds or
so that it took to start the college. Times have chang-
ed.

The initial problem was money. With Smith's
hard work, he was able to raise it. In 1789, George
Washington, who lent his name to the college, and
who as a matter of fact, was one of the first bene-
factors of the college, expressed to William Smith
his views of the college and the college's future.
At this time Washington was president-elect, per-
haps the most famous man in the country. He said
"In civilized societies, the welfare of the state and
the happiness of the people are advanced or retard-
ed in proportion as the morals and the education
of the youth are attended to."

Washington Praises Smith
George Washington went on to praise William
Smith for the teaching, for the curriculum, and for
the imagination that Smith showed as founder of
the college. "Imagination" is a word I think we
should hold on to. It is a very important word in
looking at the vision of the future of Washington
College.

Now as so often happens to a college in a tew
short years, seven years to be exact, 1789, William
Smith left Washington College. This was the begin-
ning of a long line of financial troubles for a small
school. From' 1827-1844, this was the period of the
dark ages at Washington College. Further financial
troubles difficulties in finding students, the Eastern
Shore part of the south was a troubled, beleagured
area, but then in 1844 a man by the name of Ring-
gold became president of Washington College.
Ringgold Vision
President Ringgold had a vision. If you are going
to have students, you must build buildings; you
must house them! you must find a place to teach
them. He helped to build what is now Middle
Hall, one of the oldest buildings on the campus. This
was the end of the dark ages, the beginning of the
reawakening of the college.

But again, as happened in the south after 1865,

Washington College underwent a reconstruction. The
college again fell on hard times.
Active Alumni

But the alumni also took an active part. The
gates to the entrance of William Smith Hall were
first started through contributions made by the class
of 1929.

From then to the present, the college has grown
to the point where it has over 600 students, and
over 60 faculty members. The emphasis again, is
on quality. Also, the emphasis on a healthy build-

President Gibson (left) congratulates Cliff Hankey

ing program: the Fine Arts Center which is almost
finished, plans for a new addition to the gym, a new
library, a projection that by 1970 that the student
body will consist of some 750-800 students. But I
submit that this quick- sketch of the college is just
the beginning, and in seeing these individuals, these
leaders of the college and their actions you can get
some clues as to what Washington College must
have, must do in the future. As Professor Gibson
has said, and many other members of the faculty,
the college can't rest on its laurels. The college has
come a long way, up and down like the stock mar-
ket you might say; but there are still problems, prob-
lems of finances, problems of students : ~

.uggestions: that Washington College

lift its vision; emulate the audacity, the actions of
these men of past. We should follow what Mc-
George Bundy, president of the Ford Foundation,
said just a few weeks ago to some representatives
of small colleges: "Look around you in 1980. No
matter what the small college is, if you don't have
1,000 to 1,200 students, you're not going to be

That's The Game
These are the facts of the game. This is the way
it works. How large can a small college get? Dart-
mouth College has 3,000 students, but it still has a
small, student- teacher ratio, an ability for the faculty
and students to get together and mingle. The num-
ber is not so important: perhaps because I am an
historian my vison is small, but I project a necessi-
ty of at least 1,200 students by 1982 at Washington
College. 758-800 by 1970 is a fine goal and is some-
thing we must achieve, but by 1982, times will have
changed so much that 1,200 would be the minimum.

I also think that we should think seriously about
opening a full time summer school — to further aid
the students and perhaps add needed finances to
the college.

I think in terms of service. That is what a col-
lege is for, in part, to serve. In looking around the
eastern seaboard, I note the problems in education,
chronic problems in education in areas which will
send students on to us.

So Washington College, having a plant to teach
teachers, should perhaps extend its vision to the point
of a masters of arts in the teaching program.
Hope Is Important

With a little bit of hope, and hope is a very im-
portant thing, the Bay Bridge will come in soon.
This could change the Eastern Shore overnight.
We could no longer be an appendage; we could be
a suburb.

The school, the college, grew because of three fac-
tors: the vision of the founder, the imagination of
various presidents, and audacity, this last above all
perhaps.

So, let me say that perhaps the past, and we
antiquarians of sorts can give vision to your present
and perhaps even to the future.

Card Westerdahl: I have developed two theories
about the future of Washington College.

I think there is one area that is of extreme con-
cern to me, one that is extremely challenging and
is most important to the college's future.

It is now possible to confidently refute the charge that
Washington College students are apathetic. At least some have
energy — in fact, a great deal of energy and enthusiasm — suf-
ficient to organize a sport new to Washington College: crew.

The scene of the practices is St. Andrew's School in Mid-
dletown, Delaware, an hour's round-trip ride from the college.
The coach is Mr. Davis Washburn of the mathematics depart-
ment, who is also the head crew coach for St. Andrew's.

Jamie Johnson, a Washington College sophomore and a grad-
uate of South Kent School where he learned to row, felt that
there was sufficient enthusiasm and interest in the sport to try
to bring the world's oldest intercollegiate sport to Washington
College.

After several futile attempts to find a school that was willing
to part with an old (eight-oared) shell, Johnson made arrange-
ments with Coach Washburn to use the St. Andrew's facilities
three times per week. Shells, oars, launches and other equip-
ment were loaned by the school for use by the college novices.
Workouts progressed and so did word of the activity in the
"new" sport., More students attended practices, and soon,
enough men were available to fill two shells.

With only three practices each week, limited in length by
the number of daylight hours (extended on occasion by Coach
Washburn's flashlight), and beginning in April, the oarsmen
progressed rapidly, quickly learning the fundamentals of rowing.

After concentrating on improving form, eliminating
"check" in the boat, and raising the stroke for racing starts
and for rowing in competition, the crew challenged one of the
St. Andrew's crews.

Several lengths ol" open water separated the two shells, with
the college oarsmen literally losing their shirts in the race.

Spirits were only temporarily lowered by this defeat; the
oarsmen are anxious to return to the water next year and ob-
tain the needed experience for better performances. WTOP,

Miscellany 185

By Bennett J, Lamond_

A handscme edition of Mind-

published at Washington College.
Nina Olear's magazine joins Tim-
othy Maloney's Maebird, John
Walker's "Coronation Mass" and
Gerda Blumenthal's "Sanity" as a
very special part of Spring 1967 in
Chestertown, Maryland. The cover
design by J. R. Schroeder estab-
lishes the creative mood of the
magazine and the expectations it
arouses in the reader are, surpris-
ingly often, gratified.

Total Program Considered

Taken individually one might
make a strong case for placing
priority on any one of the propos-
ed projects. Unfortunately t h e
parts cannot be separated from the
whole. We are looking at the
Washington College of 20 years
from now; in that context, the
removal of Cain Gymnasium, for
example, must be weighed in the
light of our total building pro-
gram, our overall efforts to im-
prove the college's facilities.

A new functional library with
central location and adequate
space is necessary to support the

faculty and students. At the same
time higher faculty wages raises
operating costs which then increas-
es tuition which restricts the num-
ber of qualified students who can
afford private education without

the students away. So, the whole
thing is a spider's web and it is
nearly impossible to discuss accur-
ately a single part without missing
some other part of the complex

Reflects Education Pattern
I think that probably the de-
velopment program in which Wash-
ington is now engaged is an ex-
tension of a development campaign
that had been gong on for about
180 years and will continue for
another 180. Having decided long

tion of merit, the adoption of a
formal fund-raising program in
1962 was simply the reflection of
the patterns in American Higher
Education. These patterns are
changing very quickly today.

Dr. Milton Eisenhower has suggested that our
challenge, is to humanize technology. I would agree
wiih that proposition.

Change and Relevance

Change and relevance arc two important words to
keep in mind. As times change, an important ques-
tion to ask is whether Washington College is rele-
vant to the society in which it exists. I think that
we should be flexible and adapt to those changes,
and even anticipate them.

Some facts about Washington College and the
future growth of the population are interesting.

oday.

Public education will begin
through age 24. That works out to one community
college per 50,000 residents. At the present time we
are founding approximately twenty colleges a year;
by 1^80 we will be founding one per week.
Facilities Doubled
We will have to add, by 1975, facilities equal to
twice all the campus buildings that have been erected
in the United States since Harvard opened its doors

1636.

The economy is now spending about 6 per cent o(
he gross national product on education; by 1982, it
.-ill be spending 10 per cent on education, by the
ear 2,000, the figure will have risen to 25 per cent.

1 believe that we can
say with reasonable certainty that no college that i*
established today is going to be allowed to fail. The
question is: Who will pay for this education?

Students cannot, are not, and will not. Business
and philanthropic organizations, along with private
individuals, who last year contributed a total of
$13.6 billion (48 per cent of which went to support
religious institutions) cannot support education alone.
Joint Venture

Federal and state aid cannot do it alone cither.
There will be a cooperative venture, much as exists
today, with the governmental agencies paying an in-
creasingly larger share of the costs, the student, an
increasingly smaller portion.

At Washington College in 1962, the total cost of

Id be in excess of $10 million.

Enrollment

Student enrollment in 1962 w;

year began with 625 students, ;

of twenty-three students per year. Again, if this

projection is followed, we will have an enrollment of

970 students by the year 1982.

Assume we have 1,000 students by 1982, and that
student fees increase at a rate slightly less than the
standard of living, it will cost students $4,000 per
year for an education in 1982.

Income — Deficit
This would produce an annual income of $4 mil-
lion, against projected annual operating expenses of
over $10 million. Where is the $6 million for opera-
tions alone going to come from ?

There are two alternatives we can take. One is
that we can move along simply reacting to Che
changes in our society as they occur; the other is that
we can anticipate those changes, that we can change

The students, particularly the graduating studei
should realize that they, as alumni, elect by ballot
twelve of the members of the board. Twelve others
are appointed by the governor, and the remainder
are, in effect, selected by the first twenty-four.

May I suggest that you give careful considera-
tion to the ballot and to the biographical sketch that
you receive about the candidates.
Place In Society

We must also strive to increase the calibre of the
faculty. We must try to attract men of wisdom, of
learning, not necessarily of experience; men of vi-
sion, broad-minded men who can expose us to new
ideas. We must also continue to attract and cater
to outstanding students. I feel there is a place in
our society for the small college— with an enrollment
that is to be expanded to 750— -and tha

all walks of life, from different ethnic, racial, and
national origins — who can contribute so much to the

Best School

I urge those of you who are alumni to keep in
touch with what is going on on the campus; to re-
turn periodically to see the changes. In simple,
practical terms, the better the college is, the better
your diploma is. Now there are much broader rea-
sons for being in college but that, in this practical
society, is a very useful one.

Clifford Hankey: I find myself asking the question:
if I had to make the choice again, if I was in the
positon of choosing a college, would I choose Wash-
ington College or a small libera! arts college, and
why. I am sure that I will be put in this position in
the future when someone asks my advice, asking
what I think of Washington College, what I think
of a liberal arts approach to education. What will

rbe?

ond alternative, we would find ourselves among the
leaders, among those who are not afraid to take a
chance to get in the lead.

Washington College is a small college, but should
not be considered unique with its financial problems.
I wish us luck.

There have been a number of changes in this col-
lege since I was a student. It is often said by my
contemporaries that we could no longer matriculate
here or be graduated from this institution, which
is undoubtedly true, and which I think is a recogni-
tion by these alumni that the college has improved.
Board Broadened
One of the first changes that was made when
President Daniel Gibson came to Washington College
was the expansion of the Board of Visitors and Gov-
ernors, from primarily Eastern Shoremen who suf-
fered from myopia and could not see beyond ths
Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake Bay. The number
of men on the board was increased to thirty-six (the
size of the graduating class that year). This broad-
ened the "base" of the hoard considerably. Other
changes were instituted regarding the eligibility and
selection of members of the board.

I hit upon one thing, though it is not all-inclusive,
but it is very important: the relationship that exists
between students and faculty and the relationship
that exists among students.

I will take the second one first. In speaking to
some of the panel members earlier, I mentioned that
I was afraid to graduate, that I didn't know what I
would do when I got my diploma, had I graduated
from the University of Maryland where I began my
college education.

Impersonality

These are not the pleasant experiences, many
times that we make them out to be. They are hard
experiences. There are problems in dealing at this
very personal level which one can more easily avoid
at a large university. I do not. know what I am go-
ing to do after my anticipated graduation, but I
know it is going to involve people. Dealing with
people, understanding their viewpoints, getting along

Carl Westerdahl

with people, (not necessarily agreeing with them)
but being able to work with them, to communicate
with them, is going to be a problem we all face.
Problem: Communication
Now I imagine this is probably trite and over-
simplified, but in our society, it is one of the biggest
problems: communication. And this is something
that while it might appear to be very easy down
here, isn't necessarily the case. It's something that
you have the opportunity to acquire. The challenge
is presented: there are problems in such close rela-
tionships, there are very definite rewards. You not
only get to know other people I think, but you get
to know yourself. Other people know you better.

Washington College ended the 1967 lacrosse

The British team was perhaps the

Only two were members of a University team.

Quite unused to American rules at first the British learned
very quickly and were able to beat Swarthmore 17-15 before
losing to the Sho'men. Then later in the week the Stars whip-
ped Towson 17-5, showing further improvement.

The British play with twelve men on a team, they don't
wear helmets, and the rules are such that the game is much
more genteel than the American version. The British soon ac-
customed themselves to the body checking and rough play not
found in England and used their surprising speed to come un-
comfortably close to beating the Sho'men.

No substitution is allowed in English lacrosse, and the play-
ers, though most were over twenty-five, w
well-conditioned. Several of the te

such a great bunch of rollicking good guys that I'm sure the
Kelly squad was sorry to see them leave.

The Sho'men played three or four really good games this
season. That may sound silly with an 11-1 record, but many of
those eleven games were more or less easy touches for the Sho'-
men. A good game is not especially a winning game, but a
"ame in which everything seems to go right.

The games against Brown, Hopkins, Hofstra, and parts of
the Washington & Lee game were the best this year. The
rest of the games were marred by either a lack of hustle, co-
ordination, and just general lack-luster effort.

In the beginning of the year. Coach Kelly had doubts about
this season being very successful. The loss of Jaeger, Svec
and Rudolph Kelly thought would be very sorely felt. How-
ever, Mark Madden turned in a remarkable year at attack, and
was much more valuable at that position than at last year's
midfield spot.

The addition of Tom Heald to the defense also took some of
the shock of the loss of Svec away. Heald is not as good with
the stick as Svec, but his clearing was very valuable. Pete Betts
played with much more confidence and poise this year, again
helping to brighten the picture for Kelly.

But besides individual performances, the team effort and
the overall balance of the team was remarkable. Although the
top scorers of the team are among the top ten scorers in the
country, the scoring was still spread out somewhat, as every-

St. Andrew's Crew Downs
Rookie Washington Squad

By Mitchell Bronson

Last Friday, the Washington
College crew, competing in its first
race, lost by four lengths to the
third boat of the, St. Andrew's
School team. Although stronger
physically than their opponents,
the Sho'men were beaten by a
better coordinated and more ex-
perienced St. Andrew's crew.

Organized this spring by captain
Jamie Johnson, the oarsmen had
practiced for five weeks in prepa-
ration for this race. Traveling
iliree times per week to practice
r.n the St. Andrew's course in Mid-
dletown, Delaware, they have jour-
neyed more than 900 miles.
Borrowed Coach

The Sho'men, using the St. An-
drew's equipment, also borrowed
[he services of their mentor, David
Washburn. Coach Washburn ad-
mitted that "it lakes at least five

well established and competitive."
Competing for the Sho'men in
the eight-oar event was Andy Dy-
er at the bow position, followed
>>y Peter Brown, Jamie Johnson,
Bruce Hill, Jack Hawkcs. Doug
Schneider, and John Miller, with
D»n Gilmour at the stroke posi-
tion. Coxswain for the crew was

included an interview with Coach

The team has been invited to
participate in the C. W. Post In-

College in Baltimore and Harper
College in New York.

Campus Debate Planned

Other activities planned for next
year include a possible campus de-

of general interest other than the
national topic. Arrangements are
also being made for the assistant

Faculty Loaned
We could also start a program
of faculty loan. Certain members

Preservation of Identity

What we must be careful of here
is that the identity of each indi-
vidual college is not lost in this
joining together of efforts. I feel
that if we could manage to retain
the sense of individuality aw

of pro-

grams, I think we would make
extremely exciting to a student
attending Washington College with
all these.

Snobby Drift
The other area is one that I

sport, and caters to snobs. The de-
velopment of crew on the campus
is another example of a snob sport.
I say we must fight this trend.
Preppies Arc OK
I do not say that I am against
preppies; some of the preppies on

contributors to college life. But I
think what 1 am for is balance
in our institution. I think the
Washington College of 1982 should
have Negro students from the
ghetto, the farmer from Princess

tant that we have students from all

lege has realized that its laudable

"sound mind and sound body" ap-
plies to all in its auspices — both
teacher and pupil.

Tournaments

This new challenge is being ad-
mirably answered by several profes-
sors. Among the numerous activi-
ties which the "new breed" is pur-
suing, the most conspicuous is pin^
pong. Tournaments which thrill
the hearts and imaginations of all
spectators are being held with in.
creasing regularity in the Student
Activities Center.

The most exciting aspect cf all
is that the professors compete with
each other not only to win the co-
veted tenure, but because they ac-
tually enjoy the sport. This can be
readily documented by the fact
that at least one participant not
only has tenure, but is one of the
most venerated teachers at the col-
lege.

Finally, this innovation in facul-
ty activity at the college sets a-
splendid example to all students.
The gentlemanly attitude display-
ed at all of these strenuous com-
petitions reveals the importance of
maintaining one's dignity in victory
or defeat. Our hat is off to all
those professors who demonstrate
that man does not live by books
